Psilopogon lineatus is a medium-sized barbet measuring around 29 cm in length. It is commonly known as lineated barbet in English and Takur Kukup in Malay. It has a green body and the bill is pale straw coloured with light brown head and buff streak. Lineated barbet is distributed within the oriental region, which occurs in the Himalayas through Myanmar and the Malay Peninsular to Java and Bali. It is often found in coastal scrubs, orchards, coconut groves and tall secondary forests. Usually, lineated barbet feeds solitarily in fruiting trees and nests in a tree cavity. As of today, two chicks have fledged successfully and there is one more chick still in the nest. The circle of life continues.

The Red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) is the primary ancestor of all domestic breeds of chicken. The male has bright orange yellow neck, orangey red back and black tail with greenish metalic sheen. As for the female, the neck is yellow with dark streaks and olive-brown underparts and upperparts. Both sexes have dark greyish feet and white ear patches. In peninsular Malaysia, the Red junglefowl is commonly found in lowland forest as well as the oil palm plantations. It’s often moves around in flocks consisting of largely females and juveniles. This species feeds on grubs and different kinds of grains found on the ground (Strange & Jeyarajasingam, 1993; Gautier, 2002).

Buff-necked Woodpecker or scientifically known as Meiglyptes tukki, is a small woodpecker that can grow up 22 cm in length. It can be identified by its short blackish bill, uniform dark brown plumage together with narrow buff bars on mantle, wings, tails and entire underparts as well as buff neck patch. The male has red malar stripe while the female don’t have it. They are common in lowland and hill forests. It can be found in Sundaland, which covers from Myanmar, Malay Peninsula to Sumatra and Borneo. Their primary diet consists of ants and termites. Often this woodpecker will forage with other species flocks like Buff-rumped Woodpecker, Greater raket-tailed Drongo and Raffles Malkoha. The rapid rate of forest loss due illegal logging and land conversion is the main threat for the decline of this woodpecker. [Source: MyBIS].

Grey-breasted Spiderhunter (Arachnothera affinis) is a species of bird, locally known as Kelicap dada kelabu. It has a long sickle shaped bill, short tail, olive-green upperparts and grey underparts with dark streaks on its throat and breast. Its body measures around 18 cm in length (Strange & Jeyarajasingam, 1993; Jeyarajasingam & Pearson, 2012). This bird is endemic throughout the Sundaland where it can be found in Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia (BirdLife International, 2016). In Peninsular Malaysia, it is known to inhabit the middle and lower storey of lowland rainforest, especially where the bananas and ginger are found. It can also be seen at flowering trees or shrubs at the forest edges and overgrown plantations near the forest edge (Strange & Jeyarajasingam, 1993; Jeyarajasingam & Pearson, 2012).

Asian Green Broadbill or Takau Hijau in Malay is a small bird measuring about 19 cm long. It has a chunky and plump body, with a short tail and a large head.Its short beak almost covered by the green feathers (Strange & Jeyarajasingam, 1993). Takau Hijau can be found in lowland forests, in the middle and lower storeys, and often near the rivulets. It has an excellent camouflage and is difficult to spot among leaves. Both male and female has nearly same appearance except in some part. The male species has a fully emerald green plumage and has markings of black dots behind each of its ears, on its wings and neck, while the female is slightly dull and does not have black spots on its neck. This species feeds largely on soft figs. It is often overlooked, as it sits motionless inside the canopy or just below, quickly flying to a new location if disturbed. Its foliage-green color provides excellent camouflage. It feeds largely on soft figs. The broadbill's feeding habits helps to distribute the seeds of the fig around the forest floor. The female usually lays between two and three whitish eggs, and the young fledge after twenty-two to twenty-three days. Due to continuing habitat loss, the green broadbill is evaluated as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The Malayan banded pitta, Hydrornis irena is a small-sized pitta measuring up to 23 cm. It is an attractive and strikingly coloured pitta with both sexes showing some dimorphism. The male has a black crown and broad mask and the broad bright yellow supercilium appears to become flame orange on the nape. The underparts are deep blue with orange barring on the breast while the upperparts are plain chestnut-brown. The blackish-brown wings have white spots in the primaries and in the outer secondaries while the rump and tail are deep blue in colour. In contrast, the female is almost alike to the male but the underparts are white with fine black barring. For juveniles, the upper wing coverts have bold, pure white spotting. This pitta feeds mainly on insects like caterpillars, termites, ants, cockroaches, also snails and earthworms. The Malayan banded pitta occurs in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The habitat for this pitta is the primary forest near limestone cliff and in the secondary forest. The population is decreasing moderately rapid, threatened by forest loss and degradation, and illegal bird trading. Thus, it has been categorised as Near Threatened in the IUCN Red List.

It is known as the red-billed malkoha in English or cenok api in Malay. Red-billed malkoha is a large-sized bird as it can grow up to 45 cm in length. It can be identified by its diagnostic red bill, blue orbital skin, pale cinnamon throat and upper breast merging into its rufescent grey belly. Its undertail is greyish with a slight gloss. This species can be found from Myanmar south to Malaysia and Brunei. In Malaysia, red-billed malkoha is a fairly common species. It is found in primary and mature secondary rainforest from low elevations up to 1200 m. It is quite difficult to see this species as they rarely cross open spaces. [Source: MyBIS]. This time around, I have managed to get good open and eye-level shots of this malkoha. Thank you uncle Arman Haron for accompanying me on this trip.

Location: Bentong, Pahang      The ferruginous flycatcher (Muscicapa ferruginea) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. From Khangchendzonga National Park in West Sikkim, India. Found from northeast Indian subcontinent, central China to Taiwan and winters Southeast Asia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Not readily mistaken for any other species: combination of gray head, orange-brown body, and distinct pale eyering are unique. Perches at mid-height in forest openings, often next to running water, sallying out periodically to snag insects. Adult has distinctive slaty-grey head, rufescent rump, uppertail-coverts and tail, rusty-rufous fringes on coverts/tertials and rusty-buff breast and flanks. Juvenile resembles adult but has buff streaks on crown, short rusty streaks on upper-mantle and scapulars and darkish scales/mottlings on throat-sides and breast. [Source: Wikipedia].
