Birds @ Chikus

While on the way back from Ulu Dedap, Mr Rafi was kind enough to show me the roosting site of the uncommon Grey-Headed Lapwings which is located at a place called Chikus.

Here is a Grey-Headed Lapwing foraging at a patch of land covered with some kind of white substance discarded by the villages. The birds don't seem to be bothered about it.

A flock of Grey Headed Lapwings about to land.

This was one of a few Red-Wattled Lapwings spotted at this place.

We also saw a lone Purple Swamphen.

This place has a lot more birds then seen here. It was probably due to the fact that we reached the place close to 10.00am. Nevertheless i have managed to tick one more lifer here.
