It is well known to frequently feeding at bird feeder in front of Shahzan Hotel at Fraser's Hill like this 1, 2, and 3. I arrived at 7.15am and seen it very clearly at that feeder, but it flew away when I pointed my camera. Waited for nearly one hour but the bird failed to turn up again.
This is what I got at that feeder, Long-tailed Sibia looking for food . I will go up there again when the rainy season stoped to look for that beautiful bird. In the meantime let enjoy the superb picture here by Con FoleyThis bird have a strange call/sound like a Cicada
