Broadbill family - Dusky (corydon sumatranus)
Borneo has 8 species,
including 2 endemics (the whitehead's and Hose's) which the later
is very difficult to spot and much difficult to photograph.
However with the Dusky Broadbill, I was fortunate this time around. It took me more than 3 months to get this opportunity and finally got it. I sighted at least 6 of them mixed with flocks of young and adult. Good to know that they are breeding and hope to see more of them in the near future.
Happy Birding.
Finally a better close-up of this beauty.
Taken at Tabin Wildlife Sanctuary and the Canon 7D was impressive (courtesy of Jais).
Happy Birding
An escapee bird, became the main attraction at Kota Kinabalu last month.
According to the security guard this fellow was seen flying around the car park and calling for attention or maybe looking for its mate or friend.
It's call gave away its position. As this was the only individual, just wondering what does the future hold for him?
Happy Birding.
A flycatcher ? Which one, Verditer or Pale Blue?

Late updating, few trips with Jason and CK. We had a good sight of the Whitehead Spider Hunter. They took pictures (digiscoping). Have not seen it yet.
