19 January 2011: Bukit Wang, Kedah

Lots of birds, but not too many photo opportunities! My bird of the day was a Thick-billed Flowerpecker, my 550th species in Peninsular Malaysia!

This male Banded Kingfisher was more obliging than most, and sat within digiscoping range for some time.

















On our way back, this extremely shiny bronze-cuckoo had me wondering about Shining Bronze-cuckoo, but the head pattern seems too distinct, so it must be a very bright Little Bronze - perhaps a subadult male.

    Dear Dave,
    I think you mean Kingfisher instead of woodpecker!

    Cheers
