Local and common birds in November 2022

 Here are just a few nice ones seen in November 2022. 

A female Ruby-cheeked Sunbird with a caterpillar. It was under the thick shade of a macaranga tree.



Another common bird - a Blue Throated Bee Eater.



This a male Ashy Minivet


Some books like Robson - says that it is a winter visitor in this region.



Lesser Cuckooshrike

This one looks like a female.



Pacific Golden Plover (in winter plumage)

A common winter visitor




Red-wattled Lapwing

A resident wader



Red Collared Dove

A Scarlet Minivet

Also a female.




You wont miss this bird during this time of the year.

Brown Shrike




Scaly-breasted Munia

You can find this munia in every corner of the paddy fields in Penang - along the tall lalang weeds.



Hope to see more birds in December !
