Cool stuff, Kengoh! :thumbsup: Looks like the waiting in the hide paid off pretty well. I would like to try birding in a bird hide too, but not dedicated enough to spend that kind of time and resources yet. :bsmilie:

Thanks bro Gengh.
Shooting in the hide is fun but my knees are tired, squatting all the way, must get a portable stool along next time. :sweatsm:

Saw this Long-tailed Shrike yesterday on my way home after lunch but don't have a chance to shoot it, since this morning i have some time, went back to try my luck and found it was there. A very friendly bird that did not mind me one bit.
