Rufous-Tailed Tailorbird

Saddle Dam F, Kenyir 28th October 2010

 

This is another ‘super-active’ little bird usually found near edge of forests in Malaysia.  With their loud, chirping, song, locating them is quite easy but getting clean shots of them is another story.

Their preference for thick undergrowth and quick movements make photographing them a real challenge.

I spent about an hour trying to get decent shots of this lovely bird.

They usually stay on the perch for a couple of seconds before darting to another location.

Luckily, they normally return to their perch again for a brief period before darting off to another location.

Throat expanded, singing at the top of the voice!
