Green-billed Malkoha (Phaenicophaeus tristis) - another new species at MyBackyard

Green-billed Malkoha (Phaenicophaeus tristis) at Moringa Oleifera tree at my backyard at Raub MalaysiaNew bird species is very hard to be found at my backyard now. That last one was Banded Woodpecker that appeared in early Jun this year. This afternoon I noticed something big moving in between the Moringa Oleifera tree leaves. I quickly took the bin, and here my LIFER. Lucky for me that it stayed there a few moment allowing for few record shots.
