cheesypoofs said:Thanks! I saw a couple of them while walking in to the ranger station. They were quite approachable, I was so close that I could practically touch their wings. :bsmilie:
For Jason and other birders: so far have spotted the following bird species at Sime Forest/SICC area: yellow-vented bulbuls, orange breasted flowerpecker, olive-back sunbird, racket-tailed drongo and also possibly Dollar Bird (did not have my bino with me that day). And erwinx captured a Chestnut-bellied Malkoha at the same area a few months back, quite a rare find I believe.cheesypoofs said:Thanks everyone for their help to ID!
Madcat II: Most of them are taken in MacRitchie Nature trail and Sime track, the Common Tiger and Blue Spotted Crow is taken in AH. I noticed quite a few forest birds there, but I didn't bring my other lens (50-500mm) along, its too heavy for trekking
Papilio: I guess I'm just lucky

The Archduke is really extra sensitive to the slightest movement and also flash. Did u use flash in the 1st pic?
Good work and keep shooting!
