I've been in the UK for the past month, doing almost no birding at all. I did take my family to see a party of Bohemian Waxwings one dull day, and here are a few shots taken through my Dad's scope.
While home, I've had a look through some old photos. Here's one from about 1989 with quite a few past and present birding luminaries from the Malaysian scene. How many can you identify?!
Lastly, congrats to Mun, whose been shooting up the 500 Club league in my absence with the addition of FOUR lifers - and all good ones: Oriental Scops-owl, White-throated Rock-thrush, Brown-chested Jungle-flycatcher and Oriental Darter. Three of those would have been new for me too. It happens every time I leave the country ... sigh!
Thanks, Dave and hopefully, the Darters will be waiting for you when you get back!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Dave !
