Birding in Serendah

A couple of days back i decided to do some birding at one of my favourite spots. Birding started from 7.30am - 12.30pm. This time instead of the usual trail i decided to try a new trail which looks abandoned and deeper in the jungle. Besides been greeted with the sound of Great Argus calling and white-rumped sharma whistling, i have also encountered a black snake, squirrels and at least 3 types of monkeys. Here are some of the photos i have managed to capture:

A Male Asian Fairy-Bluebird - taken at abt 7.30am. It was still quite dark.

Its already late April and this fellow is still around! An Asian Brown Flycatcher.

Next up is this female Chestnut-Beasted Malkoha. Look at its shiny plumage.

Tis is a male orange-bellied flower pecker. Quite a lot of these birds here and they are quite friendly too.

A male buff-rumped woodpecker. Quite common here as well.

Looking for some worms in a dead tree-trunk. I saw at least two of them.

This is a male Ruby-Cheeked Sunbird - back view
