MikeBirder - Malaysian Birds

Hi

Welcome to my Malaysian Birding Blog. I migrated to blogspot.com as my blog at multiply.com closed shop in 2012. I wish to showcase all Malaysian birds that I have photographed whether here or overseas. My countdown of lifers started in 2005. Coming to Oct 2022 my countdown of lifers photograph has reached
559/688 species of birds of Malaysia in photos.

My shooting gear was a EF400mm f4 DO lens and Canon 7D body which to me is the ideal setup for mobility and bird chasing at that time. Eventhen the weight over my shoulder is more that 5.5 kg. As of June 2016 I have also acquired a Fuji XF 100-400mm OIS lens to complement my travelling cum birding trip overseas. My Fuji X-T2 went kaput recently and I upgraded to the X-T5 in 2023 ; the weight over my shoulder is much lighter now by 30%. In December 2018 I acquired the Nikon Coolpix P1000 as supplementary camera for distance shooting of 3000mm.
Fuji have finally made available their new XF 200-600mm lens which I yet to decide to spend another RM10,000. As for Fuji body I will stop with X-T5 36megapixel ..........

I am a weekend birder. Do feel free to drop me a line at mikebirding@gmail.com and I see whether you can tag along in my outings. My usual day trip is just an hour ride away to Hulu Langat, Lancang, Kemensah, Krau, Awana, Hulu Kali, Gombak Ole Road, Fraser's Hill , Bukit Tinggi and KSNP & Coastal Sg Janggut Jeram side of the coast . Overnite trip to Merapoh & Cameron, Air Hitam and further north to Kuala Sidim is a seldom affair but for lifer we travel. Panti in Johor is another good birding site that I yet to go. Then there are the Borneo birds of Sabah and Sarawak of Malaysia which I seriously much go to chalk up more lifers. This I did in 2018 to Sepilok Sandakan and Kinabalu Park. Next Danum and LahatDatu.......

WARNING Birding is an addiction once you started its hard to stop. The wifey and children are now birding widow and orphan.

Avian Sighting June 2019 - Crested Jay


A family of 3 Crested Jay was quite active during one my trip with Joe to Taman Negara western side. Unfortunately, they were most elusive always hiding behind  thick of foliages. As you move to get an open perch view, it would fly off to the opposite side to your frustration.

Usually, it is active in the morning with its chattery call like a machine gun. So guys be weary of its call when you are at Merapoh.



APFc brown morph male with its long tail. It is a resident bird. 

Other birds that came out to greet me are as posted here.
The rufous-crowned Babbler is one of the many babblers you can encounter here


 The Crested Serpent Eagle in the wet morning on the way in to Perhilitan
Yellow-bellied fledgling still need to be fed 
A pair of the common Hill Myna of Merapoh

Buff-rumped Woodie which came closed to Port 1
A raptor in a far tree probable a resident Honey Buzzard






 Fruiting trees still not attractive here. The Ficus at the Padang still devoured of fruits though


What are they waiting for Joe?
