Black-throated Babbler
Dreaming of catching
this uncommon babbler ever since Madi shoot his in Bentong and Yen in Sg Koh
Taman Negara. I finally got mine in Bkt Lancang Pahang. It is a resident of
peninsula of Malaysia and southern side of Thailand. Sorry guys in Singapore
this babbler dah lesap....maybe in Panti Johor
I must say it is a beautiful crooner like the fluffy-backed tit babbler. I got a video but blurred out.... sigh. This pair accompanied me for a good stretch of the trail but keep to the undergrowth. No clear shots but I am happy with what I got.
Its features are very distinct with white patches to cheek and brow. Its crown is also streaked. Dark throated with a white neck lace across its chest. Size wise just about 6 inches or 15cm. They start breeding in the months of May-July of the year. They are lowland birds keeping to evergreen and swampy forest upto about 500m sea level. Black-throated Babblers do comes down to lower storey to feed on grubs and invertebrates, berries and fruits as well as nectar when food are wanting.
Now to get Puff-throated in Gunung Jerai; Scaly-crowned & White-necked in Tmn Negara.
