Our birding trips

Mt Kinabalu 04Jun18

With Alim's tip, we managed to see 2 endemic Everett's Thrushes near Silau-Silau Hut at about 6am.

The Bornean Treepie is a common endemic, very noisy, but usually high up.

This endemic Bornean Whistler caught a stick insect!

While this endemic Bornean Stubtail was hiding in the undergrowth under low light condition...

Chestnut-hooded and Sunda Laughingthrushes were seen, but no sign of the Bare-headed Laughingthrush.

This Chestnut-hooded Laughingthrush was removing the green gooey stuff from the caterpillar before swallowing it.

Here's a comparison between the Bornean (left) and Plume-toed Swiftlets.

How many bands can a Chestnut-crested Yuhina wear?

How about a Black-capped White-eye?

And Grey-throated Babbler?

This pair of Little Pied Flycatchers were apparently still building nest. The female (left) was carrying nesting material.

The juvenile Snowy-browed Flycatcher (left) has already fledged, and the Indigo Flycatcher came down to check us out.

The other common birds included:

Female Temminck's Sunbird. Sunda Bush Warbler.

Ochraceous Bulbul

Hair-crested Drongo. Ashy Drongo stigmatops subspecies.

Some of the squirrels here included the Brooke's Squirrel and the Bornean Mountain Ground Squirrel.

We had another Trilobite Beetle today.

There was a blackish caterpillar and another stick insect.
