A minute little songster at Kinabalu National Park



For a little guy, this Mountain Tailorbird got the most melodious song I've heard since that of the bubbly Sooty-capped Babbler at Lambir Hills NP. The song goes on and on and you can tell how much he's into it just by his intentful stance purposeful posture. Wish I had a recorder with me ... you are never prepared for encounters like these.

Friendly Bird at Kinabalu National Park



Walking alone in the forest unencumberd has it's advantages, especially when you are presented by tiny little cutie like this. It was chomping on something it just pick up from the forest floor when I stumbled upon the scene. Friendly bird, it kept hoping and looking back. I didn't bring a tripod with me, sitting on the groun dtrying to brace myself for this shot. No doubt they were many blurred attempts using flash (-1 compensation) on 2nd curtain.

Beautiful mountain
