I found a pair of this species on the Hemmant trail Fraser's Hill. This time without the aid of
MP3 song. Surprisingly a male was very confiding and obliged to be photographed. The female flew off with only one decent picture.
Large Niltava
(Niltava grandis decipiens ) ; Local name: Sambar Kubung Padi

Have a look for more bird pictures at the Bird Photography Weekly @
Birdfreak.

Hemmant trail does produce alot of beautiful species, must try next time I'm there. Great photos.
Wonder male and female look so different. The tailor bird couple look very similar.
Nice to see how the female looks in this species. I did see the male very well at FH. Nice shots.
Hi Tabib,
This is a magnificent pair and you got wonderful pictures. The last one if my favorite.
Beautiful bird. I love the blue collar on the female.
Great shots of such a beautiful bird, Tabib.
The second photo is very nice, good composition, nice color and clear!MB
Beautiful colour of the male and the female looks very nice with her blue collar.
Nice bird, love the last two shots!
WOW, absolutely beautiful images Tabib!
Beautiful shots of a gorgeous bird Tabib! I think the female is just as beautiful as the male.
