AVIAN FIELD REPORT - FEBRUARY 2014 Hulu Langat

















After a month's siesta pull up my socks to bird in the ole hunt in  Bukit Nuang. Did not expect much during the very dry & hot  weather there. First bird to see at the first section of the trail is a single Spectacled Spiderhunter feeding  on nectar of a flowering tree. Later a fledgling flew to the same tree and the adult bird was seen feeding it.

A fruiting ficus tree draws plenty of bulbuls like  black-headed, crested and red-eyes. A pair Asian Fairy Bluebird was also sighted. No good pictures here as the tree was very dense.



Found a pair of Dollarbird eying a nesting hole 10 m from the ground.



The handsome glowing OM robin which was very confiding whilst the resident Chestnut-breasted Malkoha was a bit shy today.
 This migrant yellow-rumped flycatcher is common to be seen here since few months past. They tend to keep to the cooler part of undergrowth and stream path.


This migrant warbler with a very long white lore and grey body is quite different which I yet to id......
 
A pair of Chestnut-naped Forktail flew in while I was luring the flycatcher at the stream. On the right a possible Philentoma








Look at the hairy-back!

  1. Interesting write-up. Well done, Mike. The warbler looks like a Eastern Crowned Warbler.
