Went to the central catchment area on 13th November, walking from Rifle Range Link to Jelutong tower.
Upon entering, we saw asian glossy starlings (adults and juveniles), thick-billed green-pigeons, pink-necked green-pigeons and javan mynas.
Further walking brought us to a stream with a fruiting tree by the side.
Two very vocal hill mynas caught our attention. It was an interesting sight when they bend their heads down, with the yellow face wattles dangling like bibs.
Two red-crowned barbets were busy feasting on the fruits.
Cream-vented bulbul and red-eyed bulbul were moving swiftly from branch to branch.
Two chestnut-bellied malkohas provided good view when they perched.
There was a brief appearance of an asian brown flycatcher and an artic warbler, when the orange-bellied flowerpecker that I was hoping to see appeared.
Going up the Jelutong tower, we saw a black baza circling in the sky.
A dollarbird was perched on a bare branch in the distance.
Four blue-tailed bee-eaters fleeting about.
Ashley managed to scope a juvenile changeable hawk-eagle (pale morph). Later, an adult (also pale morph) came into view.
On the tower, we also saw plain-throated sunbird, blue-winged leafbird and white-bellied fish-eagle.
A crested serpent-eagle flew overhead as we were walking towards the water edge. Pacific swallows, oriental honey-buzzard and crimson sunbird were also seen.
