Oriental Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros albirostris)

Today I do a modification work at home. I do screws for mounting my spotting scope to a bracket and to hold my NEX-5 as well. After I have done, I do a test to this Great Egret.

My gears: Kowa TSN-884 + Voigtlander 40mm F/2.0 Ultron SLII + Sony NEX-5.

Then after that I go to beach and see three Pied hornbills coming one after another landing on dead braches and then flying away across the sea to nearby island.

Happy birding.

Indian Cuckoo

This was the only big bird found and the rest were small. It was been calling from far and made imitated by whistling calls, it came and perched on a high big tree branch.

Happy birding.

Brown Boobook

I have seen one or two owls and this first wild owl that I am able to photograph. This is I quess a young bird of Brown Boobook!

White-browed Shortwing

After two days birding at Kinabalu National Park aiming for good images of these birds and just could not do any better than these. However very satisfying for record shots. Shall be trying again next time for better images.

Banded Kingfisher

Today I manage few birds to digiscope. They are not so active especially the kingfisher and I take my time taking them as nice as possible . The kingfisher is keeping on calling. When I spot the male, I try to find the female but could not find. Other birds I find in the field are Banded Broadbill and Dark-throated Oriole and white-bellied Yuhina.

Banded Woodpecker (Picus miniaceus)
