Avian sighting May 2025 - Cupwing (Pygmy Wrenbabbler)

 Cupwing is not rare bird to see in Frasers Hill but a difficult bird to shoot at its port. It will take its turn to come out to feed on the mealworm offered by birders. It will flutter its wings and will be hopping everywhere before retreating back into the bushes. I need to be shooting at 1/60s if it is in the shades to really freeze its motion. Some more the window to shoot often is in seconds.................... 

Avian sighting in the month May 2025 - Lesser Shortwing

The shortwing couple are very active  at the FH Gate junction  towards Mager Road. I guess mating and breeding season is here. This a first sighting for me here . Use to see it at UluKali Genting highland but now the port is sadly been prohibited. In Frasers  there are several port to see this bird  The Paddock parking as one and the other is Glen corner and Hermant's

Its cousin White-browed Shortwing (Himalayan) can be seen in Kinabalu Park The only difference is the more broader prominent white brow and the male belly is darker compared to the Lesser
