Little Heron (Butorides striata)

Little Herons or some books have named them Striated Herons are said to be quite common near the river mouth, mudflats and mangrove areas. However nowadays one could also see them nesting at  nearby park esp at places near water catchment areas.

At a glance you may think that this is a Black-crowned Night Heron if not for its orangey legs

Little Heron in flight

The bird on the left (the tormentor) is an adult bird while the right one is a juvenile.

At times you can also see them at a jetty.

....or on a boat mast like this fellow.

....or just wandering around like this one.

...or on mudflats foraging. This one is on a full adult "dressing".

Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus)

Jungle Myna is reported to be a common bird in Peninsular Malaysia particularly in its northern regions (Kedah, Perlis and Perak). Not an easy bird to photograph as it is quite wary of human presence - keeping its distance a fair bit. Certaintly need a long range lens to get good images of them.

This one was looking for ants to eat on a road

This fellow has bright yellow eyes and orangey bill

They do fly up but seldom as high as to the tree canopies

Most of the time they prefer grass lands or paddy fields

Although the blue markings at the base of its bill could not be clearly seen in these images but because they were taken in a northern state of Kedah recently, it is therefore safe to say that they are all Jungle Mynas.
