Kuala Muda Mudflats - Oct 2012

I went back recently and had some time to look at a few nearby mudflats. There were not many waders around but they were quite close.

Chinese Pond Heron
This Chinese Pond Heron is about to change into its breeding plumage. 

Common Kingfisher - Female
 
 
I believe this fellow is a Pacific Golden Plover - Juv? 
 
 
 
 
These are Pacific Golden Plovers
 
Common Sandpiper
Although it has more brownish colors but the "white gap" at the side of its body says that this bird is a Common Sandpiper
 

Little Heron
 
  A cross breed between a Jungle Myna and a Common Myna - how about calling it a "Junmon Myna"?
 
 One look it may be mistaken as a Germain's Swiflet but its darker body color indicates that this could just be an Edible-Nest Swiftlet.
 
Common Iora
 This Common Iora - presumably a female was seen searching for a nest inside an electrical pole.
 
  This fellow has some wings as well but its a bit mean looking than the feathered ones. I understand that this is a "Carpenter Bee".
