Not many birds appearing at my local patches. I probably need to travel further to see more birds.
Green-back Flycatcher
Male
Quite a friendly little fella. Probably it has got used to paparazzi.
An underwing and flank shot
Like a typical flycatcher, it would sally for an insect and then it would return close to where it perched earlier.
Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker
Male
A local resident.
Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker
Female
She looks just as nice as the male.
Blue Whistling Thrush
This is another local resident but it resides further North in and around Gopeng area.
This is probably the most common nuthatch in this region.
Velvet-fronted Nuthatch
Mountain Peacock Pheasant
So glad that they are still around. Saw two of them as well as a dozen paparazzi shooting them.
Apparently this is an Apus pacificus (Pacific Swift) or perhaps a Cook's Swift (Apus cooki)? They are probably more common up in the hills than the lowlands. A common winter visitor as well.
Oh what a feeling ! (Irene Cara).
Enjoying the cold breeze and sun.
Pacific Swallow
