My birding sweep of Ulu Langat forest area was concluded with a trip back to the forest of Sungai Perdik. As lightning never struck twice at the same location, there were no lifers in this trip. The good news was that there were a number of young/sub-adult birds sighted and also some familiar common winter birds were back. Weather was cloudy through out the day but the haze did not manage to penetrate these jungles.

| Black-and-Red Broadbill |
I think this was a pair and they seem to be discussing some family planning matters.
 |
| Rusty-Breasted Cuckoo |
This cuckoo was probably a sub-adult bird.
 |
| Bar-Winged Flycatcher Shrike |
The brown patch on its breast suggest that this was a female.
 |
| Greater Green Leafbird - Male |
 |
| Greater Green Leafbird - Female |
 |
| Scarlet Minivet - Female |
She was heard calling out for the male bird.

| Scarlet Minivet - Male |
Here is the male looking down at his female companion from the top of the canopy. Took me awhile to determine which species this couple belong to as it has been a long time since i last saw a Scarlet.

| Spectacle Spiderhunter |
What did you say?
 |
| Grey-Breasted Spiderhunter |
I said "don't pee on my head" !
 |
| Grey and Buff Woodpecker - male |
This was probably a sub-adult bird. For comparison purposes, below is a photo of an adult male Grey & Buff Woodpecker which was taken at the base of Gunung Nuang a week earlier.
 |
| Grey & Buff Woodpecker - adult male |
This record probably shows that breeding of this species of woodpecker has occurred at this forest region.
 |
| Drongo Cuckoo with a prey |
I believe this was also a sub-adult bird.
 |
| Barn Swallow - Sub adult |
A rather confiding young adult bird.

This locality is quite good. You managed some nice birds here.
This place had always something to share with birders.
