Birds of Batu Kawan, Penang

April 2011, Batu Kawan, Penang

 

I was driving from Penang to Kuala Lumpur and made a short detour to Batu Kawan to check out the place. There were not much birds to see except for these little birds near the mangrove forest.

 

Dark-Sided Flycatcher

Oriental White-Eye, usually seen in flock, accompanied by their rather soft wispy song.

Coppersmith Barbet, rather unusual name….must’ve been from the rather loud, resonant TONK,TONK, call made by the male bird.
