Finally i was able to show AT the spot where i saw the B&W Bulbul earlier. There were lots of bulbuls and green leaf birds as usual but the B&W Bulbul was missing. However we heard a Horsfield Babbler calling which added to the variety of birds seen at this spot. Here are some of the other birds which we saw:
 |
| Buff-vented Bulbul |
 |
| Ashy Minivet |
 |
| Black-crested Bulbul |
After having waited for awhile we headed to Sungai Perdik. Showed AT a new spot which i believe he will be visiting it again. We saw a number of star birds as well as sub-montane birds.
 |
| Black-thighed Falconet |
It was seen earlier munching on a large red beetle. It will loop down on its prey and goes up again on the branch - just like a "U" shape style of poaching. As it is light and small its flights were really fast.
 |
| Blyth's Hawk Eagle |
The torn feathers were probably as a result of hunting preys in the forest.
Here was what i meant. Despite its size it was able to maneuver swiftly amongst the forest trees albeit with torn feathers as a result.
 |
| Changeable Hawk Eagle - Dark Morph |
From nowhere out came this raptor which was seen thermaling. It has the same features as the one which i saw in Bedong earlier - faint white patch on its wings, dark body and white (which is actually yellow) legs. Unfortunately this raptor did not spread its tail where you can see the thick black band.
 |
| Verditer Flycatcher |
 |
| Pale Blue Flycatcher |
 |
| Hairy-Backed Bulbul |
This was probably the star bird of them all. Not only human being has the determination over adversity but birds as well. Certaintly admire its will to survive despite having a handicapped bill.
