A yellow belly birdy

Being an active bird like the tailorbird, not always have a good result of having pic this species taken. But can always knew they were around with its meawing sound. almost like a lost kitten. Always can found near the marshes,swamps or fresh water ponds.

Actually the first time caught is an adult but the noise too bad(using prosumer camera). With my dslr caught the juvenile, almost id as a different bird. fortunately PMers (Photomalaysia.com) has been a great help
