Rufous-Winged Fulvetta: Again

30th April 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highlands, Pahang

 

I only managed one shot of this bird during my previous visit to Ulu Kali. This time she was more sympathetic and allowed me to have a few more  improvement shots.

The colours look paler in the last photo, I  wonder if it’s a different bird.

Parenthood : Mountain Bulbul

An adult Mountain Bulbul feeding a juvenile. Birds are created to be  responsible  towards their young…. sadly we can’t say the same about us human.

24 Carat: Golden Babbler

30th April 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highlands, Pahang

 

The birds may not be that rare but to me these are precious! The reason being, they are so difficult to  obtain, like gold dust……. well almost ! Hyperactive these birds would give you a tough time before they surrender their images

Streaked Wren-Babbler: Can never get enough

23rd April 2011, Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highlands, Pahang

 

I just love Wren-Babblers, I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of shooting  this little bird. They look like some prehistoric bird with the scaly feathers on their back.. Most of the time you would only see them when they  suddenly jump out from the bushes/ ferns . This time I managed to capture them before they start hopping on the ground like kangaroos.

I know that there’s a pair of this Lesser Shortwing in the area but unfortunately only the female was seen after an hour long stakeout.

Large Niltavas: The Juveniles

These two juveniles completes the family of Large Niltavas. The male is the more colourful of the two. At this age they still rely on the parent birds  for food.

Less colorful than the adult male, the female is a   beauty in its own right.
