I know that there’s a pair of this Lesser Shortwing in the area but unfortunately only the female was seen after an hour long stakeout.

Large Niltavas: The Juveniles

23rd April 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highlands, Pahang

These two juveniles completes the family of Large Niltavas. The male is the more colourful of the two. At this age they still rely on the parent birds  for food.     The female, all wet after the downpour.

Large Niltava: Adult Female

Less colorful than the adult male, the female is a   beauty in its own right.

Large Niltava: Adult Male

23rd April 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highlands, Pahang

A beautiful  metallic blue  bird. He is part of a family of  4 Large NIltavas consisting an adult female, a juvenile male and juvenile female. I will be posting them seperately  due to time constrain to process all the RAW files.

Snowy-Browed Flycatcher

23rd April 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highlands, Pahang

I wrote in response to a comment by David Bakewell that I haven’t seen any Snowy-browed Flycatchers in Ulu Kali. Well…… here she is!  The Malays would say ‘ Hai…… panjang umur burung ni’  (Hai…. long life lah this bird)

Rufous-Winged Fulvetta

My only clear shot of a Rufous-winged fulvetta. She was  simply too close, right on the edge of my focusing limit (1.2m).

Mountain Tailorbird

It took me three trips to Ulu Kali for this tiny bird. They would go  foraging in and out of the thick ferns ,tracking them is a challenge in itself. This time I was quicker on the draw!
