Species: Orange-Bellied Flowerpecker Local Name: Sepah Puteri Dada Oren Scientific Name: Dicaeum trigonostigma Equipment: Nikon 1 V2 + Nikkor 80-400 AFS-VR Testing the new Nikon 80-400 AFS-VR lens ( courtesy of Ari  at   http://arinaturephotography.blogspot.com/ ). Verdict: Fantastic lens. Shooting fast moving birds just became that much  easier. These photos were shot handheld at a Focal Length of 1080mm (35mm equivalent) (Photos courtesy of Mohd Zakir Hassan)

Birds of Bentong

22nd & 23rd  May 2010, Bentong, Pahang. We had a family gathering  at my brother-in-law’s orchard, a beautiful place  on high ground with the hills of Bentong as the backdrop. I was curious as to what species of bird  I would find there. Spent 2 hours on Saturday afternoon and 3 hours Sunday morning  to see what I could photograph. The result was quite interesting.

A male Black & Yellow Broadbill A family of Chestnut-Winged Babblers Rufescent Prinia  Male & female Orange-Backed Woodpeckers   Wreathed Hornbill  (shot by Ilyas)   Male Blue-Winged Leafbird  (shot by Ilyas)   Either a female Brown-Throated  or Red throated Sunbird  (shot by Ilyas).  I’m more inclined to go for the latter  because of the orange tinge at the throat.

3rd  October 2009, Kemensah, Selangor I needed to improve on the existing photos of the Orange-Bellied Flowerpecker (Dicaeum trigonostigma) and the  opportunity came when a few birds flew in and lingered above our heads just before the bird wave began.
