Avian Field Report September 2019 - Ulu Kali aka Bukit Cincin

End September Dennis invited me to go to Genting to try out his newly acquired Canon EF500mm mk2 and 5D mk4 setup after his windfall in the stock market Lucky fellow.  

As for me its migrant hunting in the Banjaran migration route. The place was rather active with many of the common residents. A pair of confiding White-throated  Fantail came out to look-see look-see in the open.  Its been awhile for me  to see & shoot this fantail. 

A pair of Yellow-rumped Flycatcher were also the early arrival here. Usually they will move down to the lowland and suburban ports in Klang valley like Ampang and Congkak side. No Mugimaki as yet to be seen.

There were at least a few grey Wagtails around but as usual, they are always wary of us and kept their distance.

A Tiger Shrike and a Brown Shrike  were sighted  as they sally for moths in the early morning hours. The Shrikes may move on south once they fatten up at this Ulu.Kali stop. It was a sad news to  hear that a migrant jungle flycatcher probably a brown-chested hit the the glass window on the day before and died mentioned by Rosla.

There was at least a pair of Asian Brown Flycatcher that are mindfully sallying for insect.  

Only a male Large Niltava and Snowy Flycatcher were seen at the UK port. The females were missing. The resident Lesser Shortwing was calling but did not show up. Dennis was rather happy with the outing and gave me a treat that afternoon.

So we returned to  Gohtong Jaya for Bakuteh and it cost Dennis a bomb at RM22 per head which is 50% more expensive than in KL. The whole affair with Tea and Veggie came out at RM65.00++ Swear I will not go there anymore I rather go to Bukit Tinggi for a sumptuous meal for  that kind of money!
