Birding at Kampung Siam

After having seen too many mudflats and padifields, we visited a place which i have not been for the past 25 years. Kampung Siam is a village located on the same road to Bukit Hijau Recreational Forest where the occupants were generally Malaysian of Siamese origins. The village is located right in a middle of an oil palm plantation surrounded by matured rubber trees and fruit trees. There were plenty of bird calls here and certaintly this place is worth a visit.

This is a White-Rumped Munia.

A Scaly-Breasted Munia was also spotted.

This place was full of this bird - a Lineated Barbet and its sound of "poo-poh" was loud and clear !

Here is a Lineated Barbet excavating a hole on a tree.

This bird looks like a Brown-Throated Sunbird - female - id from its yellowish breast.

This Rufous Woodpecker (female) was presence here.

....and so as this Common Flameback (male).

  

This Greater Racket Tail Drongo was heard mimicking the calls of a black-naped oriole.

This is a group of Jungle Mynas. 

From my observations, Jungle Mynas seem to be more sensitive to human presence than javan mynas.

This is an Asian Brown Flycatcher - id from its pale grey wash across breast,  broad base to bill, whitish lores and a prominent whitish eye ring.

Saw this Changeable Hawk Eagle (dark morph) circling around a high tension electricity tower which was located close to the oil palm plantation.

On our way back we were sent off by this Dollar Bird.
