Here are some of the photos taken from January until todate. Many of them were taken before and during the MCO (Movement Control Order). Hence you will see mostly common birds here.
Two sided Lesser Whistling ducks
Look closely ! this is how you do it.

| Black-winged Stilt |
(Like wearing a transparent skirt)
They look different but both are Black-winged Stilts
An uncanny looking Little Grebe motoring away on a stagnant pond
 |
| White-browed Crake |
The easiest crake one can find and photograph
Usually a White-throated Kingfisher will fly away if it sees a human but this one was quite curious to see me instead.
This kingfisher usually hangs around in my neighbourhood.
a large flock of Eurasian Curlew roosting on an ash pond
a hybrid Javan Mynah perhaps?
Olive-winged Bulbul
Here are a few interesting clips of some Plume-toed swiflets picking up insects from a durian tree
They kept coming back to the same spot which makes it easier to photograph them.
It was early morning hence the photos were a bit dim
Picking on some ants perhaps?
There were so many other trees around but they decided to choose this particular one.
Chestnut-breasted Malkoha
He got blue eyes
Black-headed Bulbul
so as this bulbul

| Plain Sunbird (female) |
Here is a family of Greater Racket-tailed Drongo
Mama Greater Racket-tailed Drongo
Papa Greater Racket-tailed Drongo
Greater Racket-tailed Drongo Jr
(It has just swallowed a lizard/snake for breakfast)
Another series of shots depicting a Blue tailed Bee Eater with his favourite prey
Landing gear down - check !
Prey secured - check ! Note: its morning breakfast actually nearly flew away.
Down the throat you go.
A Baya Weaver nest
It has been a long time since i last saw one of this.
There are a few nests within the same area.
Waiting for the female to drop by to see his mega structure.
Three nests are not enough so it decided to construct one more.
The female was also seen nearby giving a helping hand (with a small twig).
A Macaranga Tanarius flower or perhaps a pair of Maracas?
KL menjerit during MCO!
We have heard many classic songs been sung about their cities for example "San Francisco" (Scot Mckenzie), "West Virginia" (John Denver), "Hotel California" (Eagles) and lately "New York" (Alicia Keys). Perhaps we should also come out with our own version - "Batu Pahat" or "George Town" ?
STAY SAFE ! ITS NOT OVER YET !
