Avian Sighting June 2018 - Puff-backed Bulbul

The Puff-backed Bulbul is quite a rarity to see. So far this is my second encounter of this bird in Lanchang Pahang peninsula Malaysia. This time it was just after the Deerland Bukit Rengit. The other time was at the RC bridge to Krau side. I would say the bird have a wide range  which it will follow the season of fruiting trees at a locale. It was alone. It stayed a  fair distance but good enough for some good shots here when it perched on the electric cables.

Avian sighting month of May 2018 - Bukit Fraser

 A pair of  Mountain imperial Pigeon  was seen feeding on fruiting tree opposite the Foodcourt. They monopolise the tree  for hours until a gang of macaques arrived to shoo them away at about 11am.

Even the Maroon Oriole kept it distance from the tree across the other side of the road.

I missed the nesting of the Long-tailed Broadbill last year which was subsequently abandoned or destroyed due to bad weather. This time around in 2018  the nest was very much sturdier and humongous  compared to the other Broadbill. This again at Bishop trail. It is no secret this bird keep coming back to nest here......................

Avian Sighting in May 2018 - Rufous-backed Kingfisher (Juvenile)

Without the blue patch behind its ear we can only id it as the Rufous-backed eventhough  it has a blue dark patch to its forehead (of the black-backed) and much darker wing set. It could be a hybrid kingfisher if you ask me.

In the month of May the juvenile bird is seen picking up mealworms offered by birders but never go after the fish hatchling in the watershed. On the other hand the parent bird was around to show its skill to its fledgling.

The surprise sighting is a parenting Silver-eared Broadbill  with its fledgling.
