It's always with relief when I encountered the Blue-winged Leafbird (Chloropsis cochinchinensis) in the bukit as it's testament that this species's still around. It is one of the poacher's targets as cage with a bait has been spotted hung up high to lure this bird.
A stunning looking bird, it usually keeps to higher canopy but I guess even this male would not be able to resist the lure and call of female, and a fruit in sight.
Behind a fan of leaves, its beauty still cannot be under-rated.
