Taman TAR Ampang have been a hive of good sightings of some rarity It is a suburb oasis in the fringe of Kuala Lumpur city centre. The green pocket about 6km from KLCC is migrant bird sanctuary and passage stop. March spells the time of the return trip back to northern hemisphere of many passage birds. In the sky you can see raptors on the move too as the season peaks. This year there is no Raptor watch event in Port Dickson Negeri Sembilan due to the Covid-19 MCO restriction.
Migrant Pitta like Blue-winged or Hooded may stay over the year if food is abundance if it choose to. I believe those are the ones which are not ready to breed or mate.
There were a few of us shooting in the morning lead by Nur who Sony shooter. Today I was using my Nikon P1000 as my Fuji XT2 is sent for service as the battery got stuck in its chamber and the flash mount is not detecting. Hope to get back soon.
My P1000 was struggling to hold focus in the low light shaded part of the embankment. Once it is out at the branch perch set up by birders. I manage some acceptable detail full frame shots at 1200mm. Not many but good enough for blogging . We were shooting at 25-35ft away.
................Thank Q Joe and Nur
Such a beautiful creature.
