After a few weeks of no serious birding, I guess its time to go birding actively as the migration period is starting. I was stood up by Den who woke up late on a Sunday. He supposed to join me in Lanchang. Leaving him behind I reaching Deerland at about 7.30am. Then Norazmi and son in tow arrived on the dot as I was preparing to gear up. Today it was to recce the site on any early migratory bird arrival.
Wallah ! It was nice to see the Siberian Blue is already back. It may the same one from the previous year but now in full mature colors. It uncanny that this place has always been a last stop destination for this bird. I was also wishing that the Hooded Pitta will return soon so that Azmi can get his lifer.
Meanwhile the resident birds are also coming out in full force as shown below. A immature Black Hornbill (female) also turn up above us. I only managed a record shot.

Lighting was very good without any harsh sunlight until about past 11.30 am as the clouds cleared and the sun rays hit the port site.
