PITTA 3/7 - Blue-winged Pitta

 Blue-winged Pitta

Kemensah is getting to be my favorite birding area. Wandered into anew pathway along a creek of sort and stumbled upon this Pitta. Almost the same features with the local resident Mangrove Pitta but shorter beak and having a blackish streak crown

It is a passing migrant the size of a fat Myna 20cm/8 inches with beautiful colors. It a ground feeder along stream and mud creek in broadleaved forest gardens and plantation/mangrove
