On the way back to KL i decided to detour to Pulau Burung to see what its like during a non peak birding season at this birding site. I just did abt 1.5 hrs of birding as i was with my family. Nevertheless we saw quite a number of its common resident birds and here are some of them.
 |
| Crested Serpent Eagle |
The first bird we saw was this Crested Serpent Eagle perched at a road side pole. It did not move despite that i parked my car nearby and coming out to take its photos.
 |
| Lesser Whistling Duck |
Saw and counted a total 7 of these Lesser Whistling Ducks around the area. Most of them was observed just lazing around and preening. As you can see the surrounding water is somewhat dirty and stagnant.
 |
| White-Throated Kingfisher |
We saw many of this White-throated Kingfishes. Most of them were observed hunting for other things like frogs and grasshoppers in absence of fishes. I guess that's how they could maintain their steady population.
 |
| Little Grebe |
 |
| Little Grebe (Male) |
These are Little Grebes. Its another common resident bird at this place. The one with a dark rufous neck could be a breeding colors of a male.
 |
| Purple Heron |
We saw this lone Purple Heron standing on a dead wood. He was quite wary of human presence as the minute i came out of my car it flew away.
 |
| Black-Winged Stilt |
This is a Black-Winged Stilt. Saw at least three of them and i think they have make this place their residence.
 |
| Red-Wattled Lapwing |
Saw at least 5 of them and i believe they too have make this place their home.
 |
| Red-Wattled Lapwing in flight |
 |
| Changeable Hawk Eagle |
This is a Changeable Hawk Eagle. We saw two of them and one of them i believe is guarding a nest.
 |
| Paddy Field Pipits |
This time we saw a number of these pipits - all i believe should be Paddy-Field Pipits.
 |
| White-Breasted Waterhen |
On the way out, we saw at least two of this White-breasted Waterhen. This one was a bit more friendly as it was just beside the road.
