FANTAIL (3/3) - Spotted Fantail

This is the prettiest of the 3 subspecies that you can see in Malaysia. The Spotted Fantail is a forest bird. As far as I know it can be seen in Taman Negara Pahang and Panti Forest Johor. Here it can be sighted in birdwave together with the Brown Fulvetta just like its cousin in the submontane region following the chattery Mountain Fulvetta.

In the month of August the bird is a bit skittish and criss crossing the undergrowth and trees. They kept to the shadows & denser shade of the trees making it tough for me to get  a good photo. There were a threesome most possibly a pair of parent and their fledgling learning the ropes.
