Beautiful birds, I love the colorful birds. Great photos!
The giant fern attracted me. How giant is the giant fern?
Rainfield, I'm sure you have seen this 'Paku Gergasi' at Cameron Highland or any highland in Malaysia, or maybe at Caruk Tokun. ;;)
It can grow to 7m tall. stalk of a leaf 2m, and bipinnate up to 5-7m long.
Tabib excellent capture, especially the first photo with over exposed background. Anna :)
Nice captures Tabib. I have seen that too closer to the Gap on FH-Gap road. 'Mountain Sun Bird' sounds an intesting name for this.
The sunbird perched on that fern is a beautiful shot.
