FRIM with friends

Last Sunday, the MNS Selangor Branch BirdGroup has organised a birding trip to FRIM in Kepong and I was fortunately able to join the trip. The trip start at 7.30 in the morning and end at 12 at noon. There were quite a numbers of birds has been spotted by the members. It was a great trip whereby you get to learn from more experience birders.

KSNP Revisit...

I haven't gone to Kuala Selangor Nature Park for almost two years. Since I currently have a lot of free time, I decided to there last Saturday morning. I reached there around 8.30 and the car park is empty; I'm the first visitor that morning. The lighting were quite poor due to little drizzle. Nevertheless, I got a few shots  of Coppersmith Barbets (didn't include because the quality is quite poor) and a family of Asian glossy Starling at the car park. The park is full with long tailed macaques, silvery langurs and yellow vented bulbul. There is also a lot of Brahminy Kite flying around but also a lot of mosquitoes. I came quite off the migrating season therefore only a few of the egrets and herons left but I still have a very good time there.
