Click the above LOGO for more participation from all over the world.I went for half day bird photography at Kemensah, Selangor with Madibirder, Ilyas and ZZlalog last Sunday.
Arrived at Zoo Negara front gate at 7.00am, and met Madi there. After a breakfast of roti canai telor (prata bread with egg) , we went straight to Pasun trail.
Here are a few pictures for my record.

Kemensah Forest - Pusu trail
Ha.., here are the birders / bird photographers -'Penembak burung'
ZZlalog with his Russian made Tair-33 300mm manual focus lens. Very unusual focusing knob/wheel below the lens. I respect him for using that.
Ilyas eyes wide open - searching for any movement of the leaves.
This was my 2nd LIFER that day - GREEN IORA (Aegithina viridissima)Sorry, for poor quality of this picture. We were not so lucky to have a very few lifer. Never mind, there is always a next trip.
This elevation profile shows 12.1km distance travelled. The actual birding distance covered was less than that, maybe 6 km.

So great to see the photographers as well as the captures. I just adore the first shot of that tinsy-winsy little bird.
Your patience captured the birds so well.

Eki, Zoo Negara is a National Zoo. The birding site that we went on Sunday situated not far from the zoo.

Ok, next trip - Operation Trogon, Operation Fraser's Hill or Operation Waders. Just e-mail me. ;)
