Avian Site Report October 2019 - Awana Genting (Large Hawk-cuckoo)

Another weekend visit to  Awana upon request from Den. Later AT and Ken joined us. There were plenty of bird activities here. The highlight of the hike was a confiding Large Hawk-cuckoo that flew out and perched on the tel line for us to shoot. It is a migrant bird  with its horizontal barring to its belly and rufous chest patch. I was wishing for my lifer  Moustached HC to appear though............





Many of the ficus tree and  vines here are full of fruit........meanwhile a Lesser Cuckoo-Shrike showed up



















A white morph and brown Asian Paradise Flycatcher was sighted by the gang but no good shot on the first encounter. Later I manage an open sighting . Usually it stays quite high in the middle storey amongst others in a bird wave.
