3 Jul - Bt Tinggi

Ferruginous Partridges at Bukit Tinggi, Malaysia. A pair plus three chicks, very low odds to get all five in focus at the same time in the low light. (altho I could have cloned them all in) A female and one chick, and a male (notice the spurs).

Bukit Tinggi is surely one of the best places to see the Orange-breasted Trogon, here is a nice full back view of the male.

4 Jul - Bt Rengit

5 Jul - Fraser's Hill

This Brown Wood Owl was being mobbed at Fraser's Hill. How many different species can you identify from the calls?

Where is the woodpecker? At Fraser's I was looking around until I spotted the Fire-tufted Barbet making this call, instead of its usual buzzing song. Just a couple of recordings on Xeno-Canto of this call, perhaps not often made, or at least not recognized.

The Large Niltava sings a very pleasant soft song, always enjoyable. This male popped out and gave me a nice serenade.
