Malaysia (including Sabah and Sarawak) is blessed with many places to watch birds (both endemic as well as migrant Sp etc). In Peninsular Malaysia there are several birds which you may encounter along the forest edge. Here are some of them.
The bird (above) is a Yellow-bellied Prinia. The calls it makes may not be as what the image suggests but it can certaintly be heard from a 50 meter radius.
You can find this Pied Fantail in your gardens as well as near the forest edge.
These are White-rumped Munias. It seems to have a bi-coloured bill.
This is a Yellow-vented Bulbul - a juvenile.
Some books called this bird a Peaceful Dove while some has named it as Zebra Dove.
This is an Ashy Tailorbird.
Another common bird of forest edge - a Common Iora.
This is a Rufous Piculet. Although said to be a common bird over here but its not easy to be seen. At times they do come out near the forest edge to hunt for food like this one.
These are Grey-bellied Bulbuls. They are not really common but they can be spotted near the forest edge at times.
This is a Spectacle Bulbul - hiding itself in the thickets of a forest edge.
This is a common Olive-backed Sunbird (female).
