Family Trip to Kinabalu National Park, Sabah

16/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Today, the whole family went on a trip to Kinabalu National Park (KNP), guided by Khairulikhwan Matnin, the leading bird guide in Sabah.  We started at around 8:30am and work our way from Timpohon Gate to the KNP Visitor Center.  The family trip ended around 1:00pm.

Among the birds photographed were Whitehead's trogon, Grey-chinned minivet, Chestnut-hooded laughingthrush and Little pied flycatcher.

Harpactes whiteheadi is a medium-sized trogon measuring up to 33 cm long and is commonly known as Whitehead’s trogon. This is the only trogon in Borneo with a red head and diagnostic (a distinct characteristic) on the male.  The male Whitehead's trogon also has a blue bill and orbital rings, black throat, grey breast and red belly. The upperparts are pale rich brown and the under tail is white. In comparison, the female Whitehead's trogon has a dull cinnamon head and belly instead of red. This trogon species mainly feeds on insects such as grasshoppers, ants and leaf insects. 
​

The Whitehead’s trogon is endemic to Borneo and is restricted to primary forests above 1000 m elevation. Due to a restricted range of distribution and habitat degradation, the Whitehead’s trogon is listed from Least Concern to Near Threatened in 2004 by the IUCN Red List. [Source: MyBIS].

Scientific: Harpactes whiteheadi

Family: Trogonidae

Pericrocotus solaris or the Mountain Minivet, is one of the birds’ species that can be found in hill and montane forest, about 800m upwards. This species also called as Gray-chinned Minivet. Its behaviour is similar to other minivets species, whether moving in small parties or more often in pairs. Their diet consists of small invertebrates.

​The male and female of P. solaris are different with each other in term of plumage colour. The male has an ashy grey head including the back, ear-coverts and cheeks, a black line through the eye, and black central tail feathers. Its underparts, lower back, rump and sides of the tail are bright reddish orange. The bill and legs are black. While for female, the black areas are replaced by dark gray-brown, the lower back and rump are greenish-yellow, and the wing patch and underparts are bright yellow.
