Just a beautiful Chestnut-breasted Malkoha. So close and low down in some bushes beside the trail! Amazing opportunity for a portrait!

Hill Blue Flycatchers at Fraser's Hill. This pair was very cooperative for a while, perching, seemingly unafraid, very close to the roadside.

Hello again, Bsky! Been a while with lots else happening. Studying odonata as a new interest. Anyway ... female flowerpeckers are tricky to ID, but this lady made it easy by foraging with the male Orange-bellied Flowerpecker. They do love the clidemia and melastoma berries!

#birds #birdsofmalaysia This is a Malayan Laughingthrush. Previously viewed as a subspecies of Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush, it was separated and is found only in the extreme south of Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia. This one has been ringed and I managed to get both sides to see the number.

Went to Malaysia to see the #hornbills and here is a picture of a Rhinoceros Hornbill that flew over high trees.They are always so high on trees and so fast in flight so not easy to have a clear view of them. #rhinoceroshornbill #birdwatching #birdingtrip2025 #wildlife #birds #birdsofmalaysia

The Asian brown flycatcher is a winter visitor here, as it breeds further north in China, Japan and Siberia. They are, as the name suggests, insectivorous and are very clever at catching their prey. This one has a large dragonfly and seems to be considering how to eat it!

Been a busy week!! But back to birds, now.
This riot of colour is a Silver Eared Mesia. Another resident of the Highlands and one of the signature birds of Fraser's Hill. Not so commonly seen these days, but can show up in noisy flocks.

Easy bird to hear, but not easy to photograph. This is the Bornean Whistling-Thrush, seen in Mount Kinabalu in Sabah Borneo. #birds #thrush #birding #birdphotography #birdwatching #birdsofbluesky #bird #birdsofmalaysia

This Streaked Spidehunter is a large and noisy inhabitant of Fraser's Hill at an altitude of about 1,350m. It frequently gives a sharp "chitik! chitik!" call. It was probing inside the bell-shaped flowers, with its long tongue, for nectar and small invertebrates.

A pair of Oriental Dollarbirds. They get their name from the white, or pale blue "coin" shapes visible under the wings, in flight. Stocky, dark blue, birds, members of the Roller family. Often seen on high tree perches, with a call like quacking ducks!

Black Drongos are often perched higher on trees, but this time around, it was eye level, which was a bonus! #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdsofMalaysia #nature #birdphotography #blackdrongo

Yet another example of an uncommon bird whose name suggests otherwise! The Common Kingfisher lives on river banks and lakes. Almost any habitat with fresh or brackish water ... and fish! This is a pretty little blue and orange bird with a white flash on the cheek.

The Black Headed Munia (aka Chestnut Munia) This small, plump finch is usually seen in wetlands and paddyfields. Less common than its Scaly Breasted and White Rumped cousins and always a beautiful one to see.

This amazing patchwork of red, blue, yellow, green, and black is a Red Crowned Barbet. Quite commonly heard in the forests, with its series of resonant hoots, but less often seen so nicely as this one. Like the related woodpeckers, they hollow out a nest in a tree trunk.

It's not so common, this Red Billed Malkoha. One of the cuckoo family, but this species builds its own nest and doesn't lay its eggs in another bird's nest, like some other cuckoos. Resident in Malaysia and other S. E. Asian countries.

This is a Common Iora. For once the word "common" is correct as it is a regular visitor in our garden. The breeding male is a bright yellow and black, with bright white wing markings, but this is either a female or non-breeding male. They have a lovely song.

The Brahminy Kite is a beautiful rich chestnut colour, with a white head and breast. Seen over coasts as well as paddyfields.
