Sepilok 07Jun18 late morning

From KH

At the lodge, we added a few more common birds: Pacific Swallow, Yellow-vented Bulbul, Asian Glossy Starling and Olive-backed Sunbird.

Then, we were off to RDC again.

The first bird that welcomed us back was a Greater Coucal at eye level.


Followed by this male endemic Yellow-rumped Flowerpecker, which showed us his rump.


A few of the other Bornean subspecies here are potential splits: the White-crowned Shama (left) looks quite different from the White-rumped Shama; while the Charlotte's Bulbul does look like the Buff-vented Bulbul.


Other birds here included Blue-eared Barbet, Fluffy-backed Tit-babbler and Short-tailed Babbler.


This pair of Black-and-yellow Broadbills must have a nest nearby. The female (left) had a cockroach in her mouth, while the shy male was hiding high up.


The Prevost's Squirrels here are black.


Skink running away.


Freshwater crab with nice pattern on the back. Interesting plated millipede.


A couple of butterflies: Idea species and Common Imperial.


These ants were carrying a scorpion pincer! Exoskeleton of a stick insect.


Time for lunch and an afternoon siesta!
