This is the first time I am sighting this Broadbill at close quarters of 25 ft. This adult Dusky was chasing after a flying hopper close by where I was standing. Later it turn around and faces me and suddenly swopped over me and snared the green hopper with its broad bill ......get it. I even managed to video the feeding but alas blocked by a twig. Will post it once converted.
It was in a group of 5 birds. It stayed for quite a bit of time. The others were at the higher canopy. Amongst its species the dusky is less seen because they tends to stay at higher canopy and have a wide range. For the record this is my first encounter in Bukit Rengit Pahang.
