Stubtail / Bush Warbler 2/2 - Bornean Stubtail (Bornean 11/100 - Lifer 508)
For this shoot-out session I like to thank our borneo birder NorAz for his guidance. We got to see this rarity only once . We visited the same locale at Silau-silau for the subsequent 2 days but the bird was not to be seen. I pitied Azlina who was struggling with her gear and missed good photos of this tiniest of birds in KNP. Even my photos was not tad sharp due to the misty and dark condition of the trail. We were shooting from a close distance of only 20-25-ft.
It is 4 inches or 9·5–10 cm in size.The Stubtail is a ground-loving warbler. It has pale long-legged with very short tail. It has a brown crown and upperparts, long buffish-brown supercilium and equally long and broad dark
brown eye-stripe. Its breast is much freckle greyish white upto its belly.
