I get butterflies in my stomach

27th March 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highland, Pahang

Not exactly a butterfly but  you get my meaning. A Mountain Leaf-Warbler  giving  a moth the works, body parts were flying all over the place. Just gruesome, this is definitely not for the faint-hearted!

Mountain Leaf-Warbler

19th March 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highland, Pahang

It rained late afternoon and into the night the day before I went to Ulu Kali . In the morning the birds were really hungry and were clamering for whatever they could eat.  A night of rain usually means fog in the morning….. and it was thick fog that came with some light drizzle an hour after I arrived. I had to shoot through fog for this little beauty the reason for the colours being slightly subdued. Foraging in the thick ferns

The colours looks a bit worn out. I thought the Arctic Warblers  had left   now that it’s spring time in the northern hemisphere.

Little Spiderhunter, Yellow-Bellied Warbler

21st November 2009, Kemensah, Selangor A Little Spiderhunter (Arachnothera longirostra) cleaning her beak after  her rounds of collecting nectar. Maintenance has to be tip-top.

This Yellow-Bellied Warbler (Abroscopus superciliaris) was on the same Bamboo tree as the Spiderhunter. Maybe I’ll get a better shot next time round.

Arctic Warbler

Lifer: Recently arrived from their breeding ground up north this Arctic Warbler (Phylloscopus borealis) wasn’t intimidated by my presence and continued  on feeding. A few  flicking movements of the head  the legs and wings of the insect went flying from her beak, ready to be swallowed.
