Birds eat Cricket

Tiger Shrike and White-throated Kingfisher eat Cricket (Gryllus sps)

Nice breakfast

A kingfisher has made my backyard its home, and it’s quite the character! It often starts calling around 7 AM, and I love watching it perch on the metal frame just outside my kitchen as it keeps an eye out for insects. However, it’s usually still a bit too dark for me to take a good picture at that hour, and the little bird gets startled by even the tiniest movement I make.

 To make photography a bit easier, I use crickets as bait. I toss them on the grass and wait.

I bought these crickets from the fishing tackle shop, which sells 20 cickets for RM2

Migratory bird -  Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea)

I visited a village in Kampung Tengah and found this Grey wagtail on the TV antenna, as well as this Eurasian tree sparrow.
