Avian sighting January 2020 - Pheasant-tailed Jacana


I flushed a big bird from the waterway as I recce the padi fields of Sg Balang. Thru my naked eyes I though it was the Little Curlew.  Fortunately it land about 200 feet in the sprouting padi field closeby. Apparently it is common to see  Pheasant-tailed Jacana here.

Frankly this is my first time sighting of this bird in peninsula Malaysia. My first was in Inle Lake Myammar. It is a good time to see the bird here while the field is still scanty and ploughed. Other places that have record sightings is  in Malim Nawar Perak a year back.



Why cant the Bronze-wing make an appearance further down south but only in Chuping Perlis...........
