The pair of resident Black & Red Broadbills were very active now that it is breeding season. No, it is not a new subspecies endemic to Kemensah! She’s had just caught an insect with long feelers.

Bronze Drongo
| 7th May 2011, Old Pump House Road, Gohtong Jaya, Pahang |
| Scientific name: (Dicrurus aeneus) It may look like a bronze statuette of a bird but I can assure you that this is the real deal. There is no clear distinction between the sexes in this species so I’m not sure if it’s a male or a female. She was sunning herself in the morning light and the side lighting accentuated her beautiful bronze like feathers around her throat and breast.

Blue Nuthatches were out in numbers, moving up and down the tree branches. Most of the time you would see them with their heads towards the ground.
