In July I was in Port Dickson. I was chaperoning my daughter and friends holidaying at Tanjung Tuan Regency. I was rather the designated driver for them going here and there.
On the last day I went to Sg Rambai to try to get some better shot of the feral Munia in the morning for a 3 hours birding. Most of the field are now overgrown and so ground bird sighting is difficult Saw the ruddy crake and slaty-backed too but no good photo this time. Later a big black bird was flushed and flew across the laterite road. It was to my delight my elusive male Watercock. This is my first record shot of the male bird. You can clearly differentiate it from the moorhen in term of size and protruding red shield and yellow beak,
The bird was with its mate but no photo of the latter. The male response to your call as they are rather territorial and fight for turf and mate.
