Avian Sighting in October 2017 - Maroon Woodpecker


The first weekend of October 2017 saw me going to Lanchang Pahang again trying to hunt for the Blyth's Frogmouth which I heard calling along a stretch there to Krau -  2 weeks back..Another failed sighting like  what happen at the Gap and  even Merapoh. This bird do not stay  for long at any one place from my encounters. And my sifu says its a much easier bird to see than the Gould's !  Dave I would like to differ.

So no lifer for the month of October so far. But there  are plenty of opportunities to get improve shots of other lowland birds here in Lanchang like this Woodpecker

While we were shooting some babblers ; this busy body woodpecker just drop by at a nearby tree trunk about 50 away. It was a bit curious by the look of the second picture above lol.

It stay for less than a  minute but Ken and I manage to click some good shots in good lighting.
