Bangau Kerbau Terbang - Cattle Egret in flight

This flock of Egret flew past the Raub Golf Course, along the valley and Sempam River, sharp at 7.30am for the past few weeks. The show continued for about 20 minutes.
The 400mm lens handheld is ideal for this predictable flight path. The sun was supposed to be at my back, but not appear until 9am. Sigh!

Location: Padang Golf Raub, Pahang.

Woodpeckers and Oil Palm Fruits

These woodpeckers were found in Palm Oil fruits by the roadside.
I don't think this bird eats the mesocarp of palm oil, maybe searching for insects inside the bunches.

Common Flameback (Dinopium javanense) and Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis)

Location: Near Padang Golf Raub, Pahang.

Pond Heron in B&W

Another bird that I 'catch' at Padang Golf Raub. The overcast sky at 7.30am didn't help in this BIF shot.
Pond-Heron (Ardeola sp)

Location: Padang Golf Raub, Pahang.

Red Junglefowl at Padang Golf Raub

I have seen this Red Junglefowl  (Ayam Hutan) at the Raub Golf Course a few times, but very difficult to photograph. Only this morning I managed to capture it digitally. He was feeding on a putting green with a flock of Zebra Dove, so engrossed and didn't notice me hiding nearby.

finally flew off when I get nearer.
