Fraser's Hill Bird race 2010 posterFraser's HillBird Race 2010The poster features two birds here, Silver-breasted Broadbill and Silver-eared Mesia.
Both are highland birds.
Mesia is more common at Fraser's Hill compared to the broadbill.

For the past two years, I have been there as an observer (not participating in the race).
This year I may not be able to attend because of other commitments.





This Silver-breasted Broadbill is more common at Bukit Tinggi. Photographed two years ago .

It has been over a week since I have stopped by. I'm back from vacation and just getting caught up on you sightings. It looks like I've missed quite a bit over the last week!

The whole time I was in Fraser's Hill, I kept on seeing Silver-eared Mesias. They were the most common. But beautiful always.

Cracking shots!
I saw both of them when I was there. Silver-breasted Broadbill proved tougher. I saw it at the bird-rich, Damar Minyak trail.

You have such lovely birds in your area of the world, hon! Thank you for sharing them with us. :)

That Broadbill is so colourful it almost doesn't look real - what a cracking picture Tabib.
