Dairy Farm, Hindhede 07Mar26

From KH

Danny and I started the day's birding at Dairy Farm Nature Park. Often heard only, so it's nice to see a pair of Straw-headed Bulbuls here.

Nice to see a Sunda Colugo too.

Even nicer to see my first Spiny Orb-weaver Spider (Gasteracantha diadesmia).

Next, Hindhede Nature Park. Oriental Darter preening in the quarry.

Not one, but two Sunda Colugos.

Hindhede, Rifle Range, Dairy Farm 20Feb21

From KH

JS and Danny got the Brown Fish-Owl at 7:15am at Hindhede today, but I missed it by 15 mins! We then went to Rifle Range for Green-backed Flycatcher and he's right there.

Next, we headed over to Dairy Farm and got this young female Wagler's Pit Viper.

And these butterflies: female Archduke and Common Duffer.

After lunch, I went back to Hindhede. Red-legged Crakes adult and juvenile were out foraging.

Incoming Oriental Darter!

Brown × Buffy Fish-Owl chick decided to take a stroll on the horizontal branch. Looks like I'm not the only one who's bored.

Here's a Rustic to end the day's nature watching.
