Time: 1.30pm - 4.00pm
Location: Perdik, Selangor
Objective: General Bird Watching
Weather: Clear skies, sunny and humid
Birds seen today were common ones although i also heard a Tiger Shrike calling which signaled the return of migrant birds. (Note: after reviewing the calls further, apparently the "machine-gun" like calls were most likely came from Crested Jays and not those of Tiger Shrikes !). Also saw lots of butterflies today.
 |
| Drongo Cuckoo |
It was seen hawking for insects but did not vocalise at all.
 |
| Greater-Racket Tailed Drongo |
It was also seen hawking for insects but it prefered to stay deeper inside the forest. This drongo was seen at the same location as the above drongo cuckoo and was silent as well.
 |
| Ruby-Cheeked Sunbird |
Saw the entire family - one male (as above), a female and their juvenile offspring.
 |
| Little Spiderhunter |
At the top of his crown/head you could actually see some little black streaks.
There were quite a number of butterflies seen today. Some were small, some were flying up and down non-stop while some were quite colorful.
 |
| Banded Yeoman |
 |
| Malayan Laskar? |
Nope! according to the Butterfly Circle Group it was a "Colour Sergeant"
 |
| Male Horsfield Baron |
I am beginning to learn how to id butterflies as well :-)
 |
| Stripped-Throated Bulbul |
Its song can be quite melodious to the ears as well.
 |
| Common Iora |
Look at its wing pattern which is quite different here.
 |
| Stripped Tit Babbler |
These are the only babblers which you could probably find in
the afternoon as most babblers would prefer to come out in the morning.
 |
| Greater Green Leafbird |
 |
| Whiskered Treeswift |
They were probably having an AGM here as i saw lots of them flying around and some perched as well.
Saw this leafbird having a good time splashing itself from a natural waterhole.
Other birds seen today was a scarlet minivet and a blue-eared kingfisher which flew across the trail.
