Birding at Gunung Tampin ...

First shots of Barbet at Gunung Tampin ...

Usually the quiet place is popular with joggers going up the
4km tar road, a low frequency thud attracted my attention ...

  2. Barbets as their name suggests ... barberic birds, their huge bills are like weapon, they seem to be feared by other birds when it comes to feeding on a fruiting tree. Need to observe more to confirm ...
