Black-eared Shrike-babbler
The female
It is a sure see in Gng Brinchang Cameron Highlands& Hulu Kali Radar station.
This is a tiny colourful Babbler of 12cm.
Very small indeed. A highland bird upto 2,200 metres. They usually keep to the
higher storey unlike the ground Babblers. Have a lot of similiaritys to the
Chestnut-fronted Shrike Babbler of Northern SEA of Thailand & Myanmar etc
except for the black marking to ear covert. Female is a bit plainer without the
reddish chest.
Caught in a bird wave amongst Sibias, Mesias and Fulvettas Fantails and a twosome Yellownape Woodies. There was a family of 3 hoping and very active amongst the branches searching for grubs and insects. They do feed on fruits and nectars.
