The view from my hide (the Long-billed Partridges have been photoshopped out!).

Another view of the sun!

A mid-morning wander along Jalan Mager was uneventful except for distant views of this Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo. These drongos are common, but finding one with a full set of rackets isn't, so it's a shame it didn't hang around for better photos.

This Collared Owlet was perched quietly along Hemmant's Trail.

The cool thing about this owl is that it has a bluff 'face' on the back of its head, complete with eyes and bill!

Collared Owlets are usually unresponsive to imitations of their call, but I tried whistling, and the bird flew straight in.

It was then joined by a second bird and the two of them sat directly over my head - not great for taking pictures!
In the late afternoon I walked down the road to the Gap from the top gate. There was a little bird activity...



A small flock of foraging Grey-chinned Minivets, including this young male...

...And this adult male, which picked insects off the canopy while hovering.

There were also a couple of wintering Yellow-browed Warblers among the resident insectivore flocks.
