I have been bitten by the birding bugs real hard lately. I have no choice but to get rid of them as soon as possible before i go bonkers. Perdik Forest Reserve was the easiest choice as it was near and provides many unexpected encounters.

| Yellow-Vented Flowerpecker |
Saw two of them. They were rather small at 10cm but certaintly beautiful birds.
 |
| Greater Green Leafbird (Male) |
 |
| Asian Brown Flycatcher |
Another one of the many small birds seen here.
 |
| Buff-vented Bulbul |
A forked bill Sunbird
 |
Plain Sunbird
|
 |
| Ashy Minivets |
Saw 5 of them in a bird wave.
 |
| Asian Paradise Flycatcher |
 |
| Tiger Shrike |
This fellow was rather silent.
 |
| Eyebrowed Thrush |
Thanks to Dave Bakewell who confirmed the bird's id. Reported to be a common passage migrant from Siberia which can be found right down to Indonesia. Although this picture could not show its orangy flanks and chest but its diagnostic white supercilium and whitish belly/vent areas points to the bird. Another diagnostic features which can be seen here is the white stripe under its eye and chin areas. It was seen together with other birds in a bird wave. A lifer indeed.
There is nothing better to end another exciting birding year with a lifer !
