Grey-streaked Flycatcher

30 March 2009

Busy with work, met with Ben and Karim at Sugud Forest Reserve yesterday morning after sending my brother to the airport.

When I arrived, they were busy shooting a very tame Red-bearded Bee Eater and by the time I've set my kit, the bird was gone ! What the heck ...

But it did returned in the afternoon and only managed to get record shot of this beauty

Hohoho :p

Because of the breeding season at this moment, less birds seen, mostly heard from the distance. Found this Grey-streaked Flycatcher after I missed the Red-bearded Bee Eater earlier.

It might be gone anytime now back to its breeding place ...


Can anyone guess this person ? Find the answer here

I will be off to Tabin Wildlife Reserve this Friday with another birding group from Finland. Hope can see the Clouded Leopard while on night drive after 3 unsuccessful trips at Danum Valley Forest Reserve !

Happy birding everyone :)

Bornean Clouded Leopard At Danum Valley

25th - 28th December 2008

Did not see the Bornean Clouded Leopard except its foot prints at the river bank which was found by other guides few days ago and the Giant Pitta was responding to my call within 10 metres but could not see the bird itself ...

Notable species seen

• Bornean Banded Pitta
• Great-billed Heron
• Large-billed Blue Flycatcher
• White-fronted Falconet
  
• Flat-headed Cat
• Banded Civet

Some of my shots at one of the best place in Asia for birding + other amazing wildlife and the forest itself :)
