MYBC 2006 - Malcolm Park

Took park in the mid-year bird census on 1st July 2006 with my bird-watching classmates.
Had a nice morning at Malcolm Park spotting and counting birds.


Highlights for the day:
1) a black-naped oriole preening a fluffy juvenile
2) a yellow-vented bulbul feeding its young in a nest on a branch.

Star of the day was an African Grey Parrot - it has red-orange tail feathers, black beak, light grey face, grey body and wings.
