Prince of Darkness

I'm refering to this picture of the Greater Coucal

bringing some sort of fantasies..watching too much comics maybe.. but the long tail of the coucal being spread does look like a cape.

This is after rain, the coucal spreading its feathers to dry out.

There are quite a few times I found this species perching on top of bushes. A great photo oppurtinity..

Birding in Tg Pengelih

tg pengelih

A view from Tg pengelih, the southern most point of east peninsular malaysia. (Pontian is on the west side, southern most point of asia continent)

Take time off during CNY holidays to travel there. Still have time for some birding. Guess what kind of bird I found.

Takur Kukup @ Lineated Barbet

Should be a Lineated Barbet or Takur Kukup in Malay, A lifer for me.. to bad its too far..on the mangroves. A lifer would aways be too far, so still take a record shot to confirm its ID

and quite nice shot of this, but seems dull a bit off since PP on my laptop.
