Avian Sighting May 2017 - Red-headed Trogon

The female with the brown head

The male with the red head

I have never encounter the Red-headed Trogon at such tame and friendly manner in Fraser Hill.  Most of the time there stayed away at least  30-50 ft away. The birds have been present at the Bishop's Trail- Hernmant Trail  stretch for the past months since Mar- May 2017.

The birds stayed  on and off the road side from dawn till about 10 am. While the bird photogs chase after the birds up and down the road the trogon continue  to feed on grubs and insects off the branches oblivious of the intrusion of we humans. I even saw other birder's posting of this pair dropping to the ground to feed for crying out loud!

If you cannot count the feathers of the bird you really "sakpai" (fail in cantonese) liow hahaha
