MALKOHA 1/6 - Chestnut-breasted Malkoha



Chestnut-breasted Malkoha
Yup this is my Malkoha no1. Last sighted it in LakeClub Taman Perdana in the city but did not manage to photog it then. This time got it at low canopy in TRA. Usually they are way up in dense vegetation

Some say it is most attractive of the malkohas because of its rich colours and striking red facial skin,iridscent green back and greenish bill. They go after flying insects; working hopping upwards and then gliding down. It is quite common to sight it at TRA and if the place is quiet they may drop to lower storey trees
