Repah birding

Stake out at the waterfall area yielded this lifer, its a challenge to detect birds as you are right by the water edge. The noise of flowing water drowns all bird calls, the only tool is good eye sight to detect the slightest movement.

Grey Wagtail
Motacilla cinerea



Then back to the normal routine of quiet jungle track. Another lifer.

Asian Paradise-flycatcher
Terpsiphone paradisi



And another.

Black-winged Flycatcher-shrike
Hemipus hirundinaceus
