Panoramic view of a Japanese Garden in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. The is the main birding area,where the constant lighting at a flower nursery attract insects and birds. (Picture credit to Choo Tse Chien)
I was with more than 20 bird photographers from Malaysia and Singapore at Bukit Tinggi, Pahang on Sunday.
This beautiful bird was the main attraction.
Orange-headed Thrush (Zoothera citrina) -
male
Full frame shot with 400mm + 1.4TC at ISO 1600. Just edited with a bit of sharpening and resize with Photoshop CS2.
Upper part of the wing was over exposed due to spot of sunlight shining through the leaves.
Still not master the exposure technique. This is an excuse for another visit to this highland. ;)
This one was edited with +20 saturation
This picture below was edited with
Photofiltre with reviving colour and noise reduction with
Noiseware community edition ver 2.6
Here a few photographers with bazookas, waiting for that orange bird to land. Not in the forest, but on the main road with so many tourists.

wow...so crowded. Nice photo Doc.
The birds are watching.
I was thinking of going there for this bird. It's going to be crowded for quite some time, I guess. Nice shot Doc.
Nice shot of the thrush!
Tabib, good to see that birders (Twitchers in the UK) are alive and well in Malaysia.
Their photographic equipment rather puts mine to shame.
Nice shot of the bird too!
Beautiful bird, great to see all the interest in photography. Yes, I would send you some Mangoes if possible, all the neighbours got some! Most people, even if they have the space do not plant fruit trees any more. Such a shame, as they are the best one can have. Not only humans profit from them also birds and other creatures!
nice OHT photo
jees" no wonder you get good photos. few quids worth of gear there and here is me with my 75-300 efs lens waiting for a bird to drop in front of the camera.
Wow, those are BIG cameras! Your shots are always exquisite and I love being able to see these beautiful and colorful birds up close thanks to your photos! Have a great week!

What a beautiful bird. Worth waiting for! I am also very impressed by the photo equipment of those photographers. I feel very small with my simple Kodak.
Gorgeous bird, I can see why so many want to see it. It would be the main attraction for me too.
Wow!.. army in action!.
I hope this little bird survive.
I hope all of you were not stress this bird.
In the excitement of photography, the birds welfare must be the first priority.
Happy birding!
Wow Tabib,
What a collection of birder.. THis nice bird was quite successful in attracting you all! Well he is gorgeous, so no doubt everybody wanted to have a shot at him. Nice pictures!
ooooh. i love the bird. truly wonderful images. another place wandered. thanks for sharing.
wow...what a group of photographers...the thrush is quite a stunning bird. i think you captured it beautifully....
I wonder how many thousands worth of photographic gears gathering up there there.
This must be a hobby for the rich. :)
Stunning looking bird! Vibrant orange! And I love that line up of phtographers! The equipment must be so heavy and awkward to carry around but would take wonderful close ups!
What a beautiful feathered friend! Wow! And those are some mighty serious cameras all vying for the capture!
So very, very nice!
