Avian Post Nesting - Birding April-May in Bukit Frasers


In the month of April-May is a good time to go out birding as the breeding period is the best time to see some action photo-shoot. Last week we encounter several species in post-nesting activity.

1. This Grey-throated Babbler brood of two came out to feed with its parent in the month of April 2019. The adult have orangy eyes whilst the juvi have pale whites.





2. Meanwhile, at the Gap side,  we manage to shoot the Slaty picking up grubs to feed its hatchlings.

It was more active in the early morning and come out in half-hour interval. Maybe the nest is a distance away up the slope hill.



























3. The Bronze Drongo also have a pair of brood as we were shooting at a close distance of 20-30 ft as they called & waited to be feed by their parents. As usual it will flutter their wings to attract their parents. They still have a dull coat and fluffy feathers.



4. Further away at the Hermant's port. A pair of juvi Buff-breasted Babbler showed up but did not come out to feed but kept in the background chirping non-stop.
