Star Bird of Bukit Tinggi – Silver-Breasted Broadbill

22nd February, Bukit Tinggi

 

Almost every bird photographer who visited Bukit Tinggi would definitely bring back images of this beauty – the Silver-Breasted Broadbill.

This pair was busy collecting materials for their nest.

To me this is one of the most attractive bird among the Broadbill family

Hope they will have a successful breeding season.

  1. Ari. I always approach your blog with some trepidation, knowing that you are probably going to hit me with some fantastic photos of a super bright, colourful, amazing bird. I was right, that top photo is just superb, and the last one captures a magic moment.

  2. They are building their nest now in BT. The last pic is just lovely. That would have been a split second timing because they dont sit together for long periods. Great.
