They are pretty sizeable birds (41-53cm), the majestic Mountain Imperial Pigeons. I guess It must have been my lucky day. I was concentrating on a single pigeon perching on the open branch when two other birds decided to fly in !

This pair are regulars at Jelai Resorts. So far I do not have any decent photos of the male so for this trip I was aiming to get myself a few improvement shots. The male in black & white

She nearly crashed into my windscreen as I reached the old traffic guard post at Fraser’s Hill. She went to the roadside and started making her way along the drain, sometimes disappearing in the drain itself. I wasn’t ready , and all my gear was at the back of the car but luckily she stayed long enough for me to setup and put in a couple of shots from a distance.

| There were plenty of them around but I only managed a poor shot of these two. |

| Bumped into this little guy, scurrying along the dirt track before she paused momentarily on a grassy patch. I always make an extra effort to shoot the Pipits because you never know that could be your Richard’s.

Cattle King: Is the ferry service ready Mr Buffalo?… That’s probably what the egret was enquiring. Mr Buffalo: At your service Cattle King Mr Buffalo: Hop on…. a few extra bodyguards just to be sure.
Cattle King: Oh oh….What’s up Special Agent Myna? Agent Myna: Looks like we have some security issues, better not leave this Buffalocade. There’s a funny looking guy eyeing us through a scope! Cattle King: Oh… come on, this is Bidor. They don’t shoot Egrets out here… do they? Agent Myna: ‘One can’t be too sure Cattle King. From what I hear things are quite bad in Kuala Selangor, they are not locals and egrets are their delicacy!' |

| A lone Little-ringed Plover looking bit lost. Maybe she strayed off course and ended up in Bidor .

5 Lesser Whistling Ducks were resting on the opposite side of the pond. Took some shot and attempted to move closer but these ducks just would not tolerate anybody approaching them on foot. They took flight once I entered their comfort zone.

It has been quite sometime since I last saw this woodpecker. On this occasion a pair decided to feed on a low tree not far from my position. It is usually the male that is more colourful in the animal kingdom and in this case the male has a red patch on the cheek and denser vermiculation on the face compared to the female. The male

| All my previous shots of this beautiful migrant Kingfisher were taken when the birds were on a man-made structure. This time I was lucky to have this Common Kingfisher hunting in a more natural surrounding.
Some kind of insect larva that she snatched up from the stream.
