I was up in Genting highland on the eve of Malaysia 15 General election. Since it was the start of the migration period I was hoping to see some arrival like thrushes or flycatchers and also to save on the free toll ; but sad to say there was no sighting here. I supposed to go to Bukit Tinggi but the traffic was horrendous on Karak highway Later read the news that at its peak it was a 7km jam for our east coast voters going home to mainly Kelantan and Pahang. I have to detour & take the old Gombak road to Awana.
I was at UK for a short session because I was asked to leave by Eddie with Genting Bantuan Polis tagging along. The only migrant bird I saw there was a Tiger Shrike.
At another site I get to shoot a pair of Golden-throated which were very vocal calling nonstop. I patiently waited until one of them flew down to eye level and walla got some better shots but partially hidden. It is a submontane bird upto 900m asl and I have not encounter it in lowland forest.
