Eastern-crowned Warbler
The month of September 2010 seem to welcome
the early migrants to Malaysia. amongst them is the uncommon Eastern Crowned
Warbler. It was seen foraging in a birdwave of local birds of Mountain
fulvettas, Chestnut-capped LT, Nitava and Barbets and Tailorbird at the end of
Ole Pumphouse Road. Yes it is open!!The Asian Paradise FC was also sighted but shied to the valley below as well as the Yellow-rumped FC. No visiting Thrush as yet....................
Back to this Warbler; well it looks like the more common Artic Warbler except it has a distinct pale crown stripe besides the single bar stripe to its covert of its wings. Size about the same 13cm. Very active as it forage like Tailorbird looking for grubs under leaves and branches. EC supposedly preferred the lowlands when visiting.
Next to hunt for the other visitor - the greenish Two-barred Warbler.............
