Such a Thriller

Who would say No to a Pied Triller that posed, turned and twisted, displayed for one to admire?  On top of that, at eye-level and just meters away.

As I was passing by

Thanks for the pose!

* This is my 1000th post, certainly cause for celebration, and my gratitude to Taman Rimba Kiara that has so much to offer in terms of avian excitements!

And Triller provided a bonus

It's indeed a bonus to catch not one but two different birds preening, one after the other, and this time it was of the Pied Triller which can be skittish sometimes.
    First one came, then two, and I was glad one stayed to entertain me.

And then the show began!

And then the thrill of being spotted!

But, nope it was not bothered at all that its privacy was invaded!

That it took time to preen meant I could circle it to get different views.

Thrill of Trillers

This is definitely the closest I came to capture good images of the Pied Triller, and as a bonus, was able to get the male and female at one go.  It is indeed difficult to spot and shoot the Pied Triller which likes to keep to the upper canopies of trees but in the taman, some trees are low which do provide desirable opportunities.

Happy days

Happy days
when bird songs fill the air,
big or small - 
their songs, music to the ear.

Having alone time

Even I seek the quiet,
Alone, only
me with my thoughts.
