I saw this beautiful Blue-eared Kingfisher posted by jhseow at PhotoMalaysia birds forum. He said this photos was photograph by his brother at Bukit Koman Raub. I contact his brother and we meet for one hour birding/bird photography yesterday. He know a lot of birds location in Raub, so we went to Cheroh at Chegu Yusof fish farm. Tean said he can guarantee that we can see Stork-billed Kingfisher there. Sure enough we managed to see that beautiful bird, the biggest kingfisher in Malaysia at 37cm long. My Lifer, thank you Tean.
