Chestnut-breasted Malkoha (phaenicophaeus curvirostris) 45-46 cm

Another popular and elegant-looking bird to watch and photograph. On this occasion only one bird was sighted quite high-up and moving in and out of thick foliage. I waited for the right opportunity and managed  to capture it when it popped it's head out albeit briefly in between feeding.

It's been quite sometime since I last sighted the Chestnut-breasted Malkoha. So it was to my delight when a pair were amongst the early birds which showed themselves as my friends and I were about to set out for our birding outing. A shy and sensitive specie both decided to keep their distance, although we ensured we kept sufficient space between ourselves and the pair. I managed to take in 3 shots of one of them before both birds flew deeper into the forest. Here are 2 photos.

Thank you for dropping by! Cheers!

The Silver-breasted Broadbill (Building Nest)

     Have a guess.  Which one is the Female bird?

Have a great day! Cheers!
