Early in the morning right at the entrance to Taman Negara National Park.

Schimmerkuckuck im Mutiara Resort in Malaysia
Nachdem ich schon längere Zeit ein recht lautstarkes Paar Rotschwanz-Maustimalie (Malacocincla abbotti) beobachtet und gut fotografiert habe (die Stimmen vom Band tun ihr übriges) steigert sich die Aktivität des Gesanges plötzlich noch.

Chestnut-breasted Malkoha at forest edge in Taman Negara NP
After I had observed a pair of Abbott’s Babblers (Malacocincla abbotti) for a long time and photographed them well (the voices from the tape did the rest), the activity of the singing babblers suddenly increased. Both individuals now come into the open areas of the forest edge more clearly and for longer periods of time.… Continue reading Chestnut-breasted Malkoha at forest edge in Taman Negara NP
