Streaked Wren-Babbler at Gunung Ulu Kali

My first time photographing birds at Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highland.
This Streaked Wren-Babbler was one of my 4 lifer found there.
Now I know why Madibider can get a macro shot of this species. They are so used to photographer at that Radar Station perimeter fence, and we can approach it to a few feet, and can even photograph it with a hand-phone. Here it playing around with  Sphagnum moss.

When I arrived up there at 7.30am, there were already 3 photographers, One waiting for Snow-browed Flycatcher and Niltava family at second Telekom tower and 2 at the far end of the fence waiting for Mountain Leaf-Warbler . So, I just introduce myself and join them.
By the time I was getting home at 1pm, there are at least eight cars up there.
Thanks to Madibirder for direction and detail map of that area.
