Birding at Sungai Perdik, Ulu Langat, Selangor, Malaysia

After a year of absence from one of the popular birding spots in Selangor, I decided to re-visit the place. I found that most of the "common" birds which were sighted previously was still there. Here are some of them which i managed to get their pictures:
Looking at me is a male Whiskered Treeswift 

A female Raffles Malkoha foraging in the morning sun.

Always a beauty to see and photograph - female Chestnut-breasted Malkoha.

After further verifications from the experts including Dave Bakewell & Dr David Wells, this bird was renamed as a "Brown-Streaked Flycatcher" and not a dark-sided flycatcher as initially thought due to the time of sight which was in late June 2011.

A male Asian Fairy Bluebird.

The most common leafbird one could find along the jungle trails - a blue-winged leafbird (male).

After further verification from the experts, this bird was re-named as Rufescent Prinia and not a Yellow-Bellied Prinia as first thought.

Another common woodpecker in the forest - a crimson-winged woodpecker (male).

After further verification by the experts, this bird is re-named as a Rufescent Prinia  basking in the sun and not a Yellow-Bellied Prinia.
This is indeed a Dark-necked Tailorbird.

Here are some of the more recent photos taken:
A Verditer Flycatcher

A Black & Red Broadbill - a common resident in Perdik.
