"Curiouser and curiouser!" so says I too.
I was literally halted in my tracks when I heard the calls, hardly believing my ears, and it needed no effort to spot it. There it was in full view and hardly batted an eye when I zoomed in on it.
A most unusual place, at the ascent to Bukit Kiara practically by the roadside, there was the White-breasted Waterhen (Amaurornis phoenicurus) in all its fullness, hardly its typical habitat and preening unabashedly.
It finally wandered off and ten minutes later, I heard the calls again and now it was up on a tree trunk, preening and calling out again, then wandered down and finally disappeared.
A most unusual behaviour for a super shy bird!
