Some breathtaking views from above. On the way up we heard lots of birds' call notably pin-stripped tit babblers. We also saw a raptor - believed to be a changeable-hawk eagle perched on top of a lamp post.
This is a friendly Silver-Breasted Broadbill (Male). No wonder so many photographers are keen to go to this place.
Here is another shot of the Silver-Breasted Broadbill (Male).
This is a female Silver Breasted Broadbill wearing a thin necklace.
This is another friendly bird - a Grey-Throated Babbler.
We went to a place where the Hill-Blue Flycatcher was said to frequent. Well we did not see them but saw a Siberian Blue Robin instead as verified by Yang Chong :) I believe i may have also seen a similar one at Bishop Trail previously.
We also saw a Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrot (a female i think).
This is a Grey-Chinned Minivet (female) which has just caught an insect.
Nearby was this male Grey-Chinned Minivet.
This was the most interesting find - could this be a Long-Tailed Minivet (first summer male)? According to the local experts here it is most likely a Grey Chinned / Feiry Minivet - immature/sub adult. Perhaps i need to have a word with Craig Robson.
This is a juvenile tiger shrike which can also be found here.
This is a barbet partly hidden among the branches - could not id which type it belongs.
This is a noisy Streaked Spiderhunter.
Finally i was able to take this Grey-and-Buff Woodpecker photos - a rather small woodpecker at 14cm.
Could this be a Common Woodshrike? - found perched nearby at a nursery area. According to the experts, common woodshrike does not occur here - so this is most likely a Large Woodshrike.
This Sultan Tit had also make an appearance.
This Brown Barbet (male) concluded our birding trip at Bukit Tinggi.
