I was early to the port first weekend of July to look for norturnal birds but alas none of my target birds responded to my calling. Seremban Yap and then Lam from KL join me at the port. Later Liew and his kwailoh guest arrive in the late morning. The highlight of the day was the RCKf which stayed for a 10-15 minutes session for all to shoot to their heart content. Is it diffirent from the Chestnut Collared Kf of Borneo? Hope to see it in my trip in October 2018. Any one interested to join me to Sandakan -Sepilok ............
Earlier bird life along the road in the wee morning 8.30 am was so so in misty condition. First bird was a far sighting of Black Magpie, a tattered Drongo cuckoo with its curvy beak (picture below) was next. Further up from Deerland spotted a hornbill. Walah it was my first sighting of a Black Hornbill variant with white supercillum that morning (see my earlier posting).
Then a yellow bellied flowerpecker was curious enuf to show itself (picture above) . Other bird sighting include several common bulbuls. By 9am I was back to the port hoping lighting was better by then. At the port the usual birds appearance were frequent enough to keep us entertained. A Banded was calling but no appearance.
A pair of mating OM Robin in shining coat appears on several occasion everytime the resident shama calls............
Below the Black-capped is the more difficult bird to snap in sharpness as we shoot in low speed in the low light condition and skittish behaviour of the same.
