Sepilok 07Jun18 early morning

From KH

At Nature Lodge Sepilok, get saw/heard the common birds: Spotted Dove, Zebra Dove, Collared Kingfisher, Yellow-bellied Prinia, Black Magpie-robin, Javan Myna and Eurasian Tree Sparrow.

Eurasian Tree Sparrow. Collared Kingfisher.

Spotted Dove. Zebra Doves.

At Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), our first bird for today was the endemic Dusky Munia. This juvenile was still not able to fly. Hope it survives...

We saw this nest on a tree beside the security counter. I reckon this is its nest.

The first for two towers here is the Bristlehead Tower. It's at the canopy level, which gives a good vantage point to look out of the morning bird waves.

We had a pair of Black-winged Flycatcher-shrikes (left female, right male) up close.

A pair of Ruby-cheeked Sunbirds (left female, right male), also up close.

So did the male Green Iora and the Bornean Brown Barbet.

Even the endemic Bartlett's Flying Dragon dropped by to say hi.

Other birds, like this Buff-rumped Woodpecker, were farther away.

This resident Southern Pig-tailed Macaque was having his morning stroll.

Next, we headed to the Trogon Tower. Not many birds came close, except for this female Lesser Green Leafbird.

Others were far away like this green-pigeon, and high up like this Verditer Flycatcher.

On the ground, we got a Little Spiderhunter.

The star bird for the morning was a very confiding endemic Black-crowned Pitta.

Time to head back to the lodge for breakfast.
