Thank you for the 1st Borneo Birdrace with 7 countries participating (8 bird clubs- Taiwan send two clubs) that I was able to finally finish my spiderhunter list but I do not have any picture to proof that I have seen it. However this Bornean Spiderhunter was there to fill up that pictureless of the Grey-breasted Spiderhunter. Earlier, I posted this was the Grey-breasted Spiderhunter, my apologies to my readers.

Happy Birding.

A birding fest during 5th Borneo Bird Festival (7th - 9th June 2013)

Birding was fantastic during the 5th Borneo Bird Festival and below are few species that I could managed  to digiscope due to the hectic program.

Baya Weaver - a large group of them building their nest along the road side to Sepilok Orang Center.

A female Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker, however I missed the male.

Rafffles's Malkoha, the smallest of Malkoha's Borneo. Feeds like squirrel like behavior, making short gliding flights from tree to tree.

Diard's Trogon Female - a frequent visitor at RDC (Rainforest Discovery Centre). But again its never guaranteed that its an easy sighting.

Happy Birding.
