ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and kind words dear friend. Happy birding.
DeleteHi Joe, How can you tell the features that identify the Malayan Whistling Thrush? You know we can find another bird at the Ipoh temple that looks almost the same.
ReplyDeleteHi there, yes you are right. The one in Ipoh is Blue Whistling Thrush. The features are almost the same, except Malayan Whistling Thrush is smaller in size and its habitat in submontane or montane. Hope that helps
ReplyDeleteSangat mirip dengan burung gagak ya Encik Joe. Bezanya pada paruh dan saiz sahaja. Indahnya ciptaan Tuhan
ReplyDeleteBetul Enrich Bliss. Satu lagi jumlah burung ini tak sebanyak gagak, jadi orang tak tau dia.
