My Long-tailed Broadbill Hahaha :p

9th February 2009

Drove early this morning with Andy from York, England to Tambunan Rafflesia Centre for Bornean endemics such as Mountain and Bornean Barbet (Heard only ...), but had a good view of Cinereus and Bornean Bulbul with Bornean Leafbird.

Besra and Blyth's Hawk Eagle was a bonus for today's trip.

And one particular star bird seen was this !

Long-tailed Broadbill

Hahaha my first picture of this uncommon bird in Borneo and my last sighting of this species was last year together with the Gang, but it was only brief. Shot taken with my lovely Sony Ericsson K660i cellphone hand held to the scope hehehe :p

After breakfast, saw another pair at the beginning of the trail :)

Digiscoped with Nikon Fieldscope ED82, SRB-Griturn Mk II adapter and Fujifilm F31D

Bornean Swiftlet, recent split from Cave Swiftlet digiscoped at Gunung Alab Restaurant

Happy birding !
