End of July I was alone birding in Awana side of the world circa 680m ASL. With no real target bird but to distress away from the bustling busy life and just to enjoy the cool air of the highland. Apart from bird, the trees are flouting flowers and butterflies are aplenty.
The rarity catch today is the White hooded Babbler which can also can be sighted in Bukit Frasers Gap side. just look out for bamboo outcrops which they forage. Time 9-10am.
There are many juveniles flying about -past post nesting but minus the parent. First was the Red-bearded Bee eater.
Then the juvenile Little Pied Flycatcher showed up. It was a bit curious to see me coming as close as 15 ft. What to do I am new to it.
The Blue -winged Minla is a common sight here. Today they were a bit shy and kept their distance in the upper canopy.
I have never come across so many White-eyes. More than a dozen Everett's White-eyes foraging party came close looking for fruiting berries. They can get noisy when they are frenzy foraging in a bird wave.
On the way out a pair of Helmeted Hornbills flew in off the ravine giving a 3 minutes window to compose and position my shot but still it was a bit too faraway for a good shot. See my previous posting.
