Dusky Broadbills

15th July 2012, , Panti, Johor

Local Name: Takau Rimba Hujan

Scientific Name: Corydon sumatranus

One rarely gets to shoot  low angle shots of these broadbills as they tend to stay on the upper stories of the canopy. I guess bird luck was with me that day when  two  Duskies from a larger group  decided to dive down onto this low branch, probably a juvenile asking  to be fed by an adult.

                          Most other times this is probably how your image of this bird would be.
