Panti :: 23rd Jan 2011

Another Diard's Trogon was sighted last Sunday! I have no clue why it seems so often to see them this year compared to last two years! I was hoping that the female was around but unfortunately it wasn't.

A huge bird wave of of Cream-vented Bulbuls caught my attention and this time I was lucky to spot  a male Grey-and-buff Woodpecker, a species rarely seen along the main bunker trail compared to other woodpecker species.

I spent most of the time walking along the trail (after the first stream) in the afternoon with my gear and interestingly I sighted more species than the usual habit of driving along. Perhaps walking makes one more alert looking for birds, or perhaps the birds are less concern with human on foot!

As I was packing up ready to go home near the carpark exit, three Red-crowned Barbets with 6-8 Black-winged Flycatcher-shrike came to the tree just across the road.....
