Streaked Wren Babbler
It was another outing with Jason This time to Awana for the morning. That morning was misty........ very
misty than usual. We were there to catch the Blue Hill Flycatcher.With the familiar chirping of "chiuee" or "chuuii or something like that of the tailorbird. Apparently the chirping is important to id a babbler. So many of them. Jason point me to the movements in the undergrowth. The ST Babbler is a resident in Malaysia hills upto 750m but the hot weather may push them higher. For me its a lifer but Jason he have encounter them before...... tell me to be patient and stay still and it will come down onto the road. And indeed it flew down a pair of them maybe a family of 2 with their offsprings. 6 inches in length. Adult the crown is darker black and red eyed.
It is nice to know they are flourishing and their habitat still there. Sad to see people are dumping building debris and furniture down the ravine at the track
