Bidadari 28-31Dec08

From KH

On Sun 28 Dec, I had some time off from my chauffeur duty and headed for Bidadari for the first time this season. Sure enough an immature Hodgson's Hawk-cuckoo was there, so was 3 Black Bazas.

Non-avian creatures include a Black Cobra (more than 1 foot long), as well as a Variable Squirrel.

On Tue 30 Dec, after recieving the Malayan Night-heron report from KC, I was there from 5:30 - 6:30 pm. Jonathan, Jimmy Chew, Ashley and an Eric was also there, but the MNH was a no-show. However, they were there earlier and photographed a perched Buteo buteo, a juv Crow-billed Drongo and an Indian Cuckoo.

While I was there, I saw a Drongo Cuckoo and another Hodgson HC. The latter was a subadult, different from the immature on Sun.
