| My Lifer of the day, a Violet Cuckoo. While I was photographing the Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, this purple looking bird pop up from the dense vegetation. The photo was captured with the Canon 1 D mkIV with EF 800 IS lens. ISO 1250 F8 AP Mode. Without Flash. |
October 3 2010. This morning I went to Sungai Sedim to look for the winter passage migrant bird. My target is the Yellow-rumped Flycatcher. Last year, there were multiple sighting of the Yellow-rumped Flycatcher at Sungai Sedim. Unfortunately I did not find my target bird. I ended up with a "consolation prize", a close relative of the Yellow-rumped, the Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher.

| I like the sweet melody called of the Grey-headed Canary. Canon 1 D Mark IV EF 800 IS ISO 2000 1/60 F5.6 |

| I shot without flash in order to retain the original color of the feather. |
Thanks for viewing. You comments are welcome.

Excellent catch on the Violet Cuckoo today! Congrats!
Hi Franja,
Gracias.
Hi Chien,
Thanks, going to look for it again.
Well done Kiah! 2 unusual catch!
Awesome images of the GHC Flycatcher.
Kiah, the violet is really violet. Very nice indeed!!
The yellow-rumped flycatcher had already come and gone because they are passage migrants. I videoed a male bird at the metal bridge on 5-9-2010. See this link for the video :
