It's quite disheartening to see that the taman is pretty uninspiring currently with the absence of migrant avian visitors whilst the bukit is energised by early arrivals. All the present visitors to the bukit would see similar ones in the taman during this early period in previous years, whether the same visitors or not, hard to tell but of no consequence.
Thus when I got my first strike of this Tiger Shrike (Lanius tigrinus), it's cause for celebration. It flew in, was on the hunt, looked like it got what it wanted, off it went, and that was it, not to be sighted again that afternoon. It would have been a 'was it, was it not' situation if not for the shots I managed within the few seconds.
Anyway tiger shrikes generally do not spend their migration duration in the taman, seen for a few days and then disappeared unlike the brown shrike.
