One beauty of the bukit

 Overheard: "... the birds here are not nice one, all black one!"

And how I wish this one had popped up when that remark was made.

The Chestnut-breasted Malkoha has got to be one of the more beautiful birds here and worthy of pursuit if necessary for admiration.  But I was lucky that this one suddenly appeared a couple of minutes later, foraging behind leaves, pausing to take in its surrounding, and admirer, but occasionally providing full revelation.

And yes, even eye-balling me, or the lens I guessed, to be more accurate.

This is a male bird with pale blue iris whilst the female's is yellowish white (posting of 30 Oct 2021 @ www.rimbakiara.blogspot.com/2021/10/malkohas-playground.html )

Here's to you!

And Hullo there! again when curiosity got the better of it again.
