Bidadari 28Apr18

From KH

Danny and I started the day's birding at Bidadari.

Mr and Mrs Asian Koel were rather noisy.

Junior Lineated Barbet was in its nest, while the parent hung out with a Collared Kingfisher.

Male Oriental Pied-hornbill.

Brown Shrike lucionensis subspecies.

Two common birds: - male Pink-necked Green-pigeon and the introduced Red-breasted Parakeet.

Asian Glossy Starlings were feasting on the figs.

The introduced Variable Squirrels are clinging on despite the area being greatly reduced.
