It’s Irresistible: Grey-Headed Babbler

2nd October 2010, Kemensah, Selangor

It’s been a while since  my last lifer so she’s a much welcomed catch. The aroma  was simply irresistible and it probably lured her out from her usual  dark  haven. She came near the jeep where I was having my very early ‘nasi lemak’  & cold green tea jungle breakfast !

I Know You: Whiskered Treeswift

26th September 2010, Kemensah, Selangor

There were 2  male Treeswifts on the same tree, I recognized one bird as the male parent bird which I had previously been following. The other was a young bird, ‘freckelled’ lower facial stripe, thin slender body and fresh flawless feathers. I’m pretty sure he is Hakem, 2 month old by now. Interesting to note that he still remains in the same area as the parents. What a handsome  bird he turned out to be!
