I waited at the bird feeder of Shahzan Hotel as usual, but that feeder seem to be empty (no food or fruit). No bird came in, not even the 'Sky Rat'. I give up after forty-five minutes.
I thought that was another fruitless trip, until I made a hike at Mager Trail.
Saw this at Mager Trail, very far from about 20 meters at a fruiting tree @ 8.20am
Fire-tufted Barbet (Psilopogon pyrolophus)
I saw one lonely bird at a very low perched, just above my head - at Valley Road, just at the end of Hemmant Trail.
It stayed there oblivious to my presence and flash light.
It said goodbye to me when my CF card nearly full to the brim. Thank you 'Takur Api' see you again!
My bird pictures quality no way near Con Foley, but I went home very happy for successful Mission Fire-Tufted.
Have a look for more bird pictures at the Bird Photography Weekly @ Birdfreak.

Very pretty bird Tabib! I like that bit of color right over it's beak.
good one, keep it coming my friend
: )
It's a great feeling to set a target and get it done! Good job, I love this bird.
It's always good when you find a targeted bird - even better that you could get some photos. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful bird Tabib. It is also nice to see where it does occur. Seems to be quite colorful. Again one of this beauty of mother nature!
Fantastic birds I have never seen that kind of birds before .Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice day

Easier said than done, but you made it. Congrates!
It feels great after all that!So what's the next mission, 'Mission CommonKing'?
I love the pretty colorful birds. Your Tufted barbet is beautiful. It has a cool looking beak.
Your last one is very cute, sort of playful with you.
Who is Con Foley? May need to check up more over the weekend.
It is gorgeous. Congratulations!
congrats on your catch...!
Great captures of one gorgeous bird Tabib! I love those bright colors and that tuft of feathers over the bill is over the top!
Your photos are great Tabib its good to better oneself. do not make the mistake of saying not as good as so and so's photo. they are yours you saw it with your own eyes. thats the way I look at it I see much beauty in this part of the world some I may get a good shot. and if I do not I say " I saw it,
The different between Con Foley's and yours are the lighting and angle.
You were unfortunate for that backlighting and higher angle. Maybe Con using longer lens! ;)
But as Tony Nile said, be proud of yours.
Cheers.
