Abbott’s Babbler

Bersia, Gerik, Perak

 

This Abbott’s Babbler was shot during my trip to Bersia last week. I was not very sure of the birds’ ID, but after some discussions in ‘Bird forum’, Photo Malaysia, it’s confirmed that this is in fact an Abbott’s Babbler instead of a Horsfield’s Babbler.

The song actually helped me confirmed that this was not a Horsfield’s Babbler

Only managed a few shots before the bird disappeared into the thick undergrowth.

  2. We dont get babblers here but when I have seen them overseas they have always been skulkers,disappearing from view very quickly. Therefore Ari I reckon you are being modest with the number and quality of these images.
