I’m birding in the rain.
The long walk around the Botanical Gardens the day before left me with some sore legs so I decided to take a break in the morning. In the late afternoon, I went for some casual birding at Bukit Gombak Park again.
A lone Sunda Pied Fantail greeted me on this gloomy, rainy day. There weren’t many birds around but I kept going anyway hoping to find something special.
Instead, I found a pair of Red Junglefowls perched on a tree with the male repeatedly crowing.
The first migrant bird spotted was an Asian Brown Flycatcher. It was hunting for insects high up some trees which made for poor, backlit photos.
Finally, I spotted a Brown Shrike hidden in some trees. This was a skittish one that did not tolerate my presence. I’m guessing it’s not the same Brown Shrike that I was seeing few years ago.
