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.

Have a guess at what this pair of Black & Red Broadbills are saying to one another.

	A pair of Black & Red Broadbill attracted my attention with their duck-like call. Shooting a black bird in the shade can be very tricky, especially on  focusing.

She was  a bit on edge with the Dusky Langurs resting nearby, too close for comfort

Just Curious: Black & Red Broadbills

Black & Red Broadbills were very active yesterday. This pair seemed very curious and  lingered around  the area for sometime  until  we decided to call it a day.

Nesting Black & Red Broadbill, Kemensah 24th May 2009-madibirder

Went to check out a nest of a Black & Red Broadbill (Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchos) local name : Burung Rakit. Hid myself behind some bushes hoping that the birds wouldn’t see me. One bird came back and perched about 6 ft away from the nest. Carefully scrutinizing the area she then flew to a tree about 100 ft away. She probably sensed danger, that the area was not safe and would not go anywhere that would reveal her nest. That was a clear signal for me to move away from there as not to stress the bird and her chicks (unsure if there were any).
