It was a good day up at Bkt Tinggi, hive of activities except I had not luck with the Siberian Thrushes, and don't think we will ever get to see this passage migrant again this year any more. My only consolation was a female I sighted over at Genting Highlands.
The flower nursery was a great spot, and my results below were all taken from the nursery and/or area near the nursery. Plenty of Grey Throated Babbler, Striped Tit Babbler, Mountain Fulvetta and White Bellied Erpornis in the morning.
One of the star bird of Bkt. Tinggi.
Here is a Grey Wagtail.
I got confused over the Verditer Fly (f) below because it had little resemblance of the male (above), luckily I digdeep with Dave : - ) vast difference is term of size/length, the turquoise blue of the male is so much more vibrant as compared to the greyish blue of the female.
A lone Banded Woodpecker hammering its way into the rotten trunk for ants!
A very confiding Mugimaki.
And the nesting season is starting ...
Here a Cream Coloured Giant Squirrel, He is big and that is why he is not as nimble like his smaller cousin.
Here is interesting reading of this cute creature.

T was there last Sunday, no luck too with the Siberian Thrush. The Mugimaki did make an appearance that day. Great shots Yen.
Excellent collection from Bkt. Tinggi, Yen, the 'Silver Breasted B Bill' is simply excellent.
Hi Yen
The small mammal is not an Etruscan Shrew but a Short-tailed Gymnure (Hylomis suillus). A great photo!
Beautiful collection Yen! Good to see that the SBBs are building nests again!
That made my jaw wide open, and saliva drooling! ;)
Must go up there soon.
