Buffy Fish-Owl (Ketupa ketupu) watching my wife & me as we did our morning brisk workout. The commonest of 4 owl species that visit our home. Disclosure: I did use some torchlight briefly to get a better image. The ISO used was 65,535, the maximum for my Z8. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia

Wizard Butterfly (Rhinopalpa polynice) #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia July 2026

Cream-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus simplex) feeding on the fruit of Eurya acuminata. The nectar & fruit of Eurya acuminata are a favourite of bulbuls, sunbirds, flowerpeckers and leafbirds. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Red-throated Sunbird females/juveniles not easy to differentiate from Brown-throated Sunbird. BTSB female broader, diffuse eye-ring. RTSB female/juvenile ‘eyelid-rims’ (lower rim large). 1st RTSB juvenile #BirdsSeenIn2026. 2nd composite RTSB females (top) & juvenile males (bottom). #Malaysia

The Social Work Profession Bill 2026 tabled in Parliament is critical. But in current form it creates a double standard, threatens to penalise civil society & may compromise quality of care delivered to vulnerable individuals. We hope our MPs will act.

Rufous Piculet (Sasia abnormis) – fledged juvenile male with an adult female. One of the smallest woodpecker in the world (8-9cm). Wonder-full to watch. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social @tonyrinaud.bsky.social

Blyth's Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus alboniger). Although generally found in the montane regions, it occasionally can be seen at lowland forest. Like this bird I saw today. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Brown-throated Sunbird (Anthreptes malacensis) female nectar robbing Malvaviscus penduliflorus (an exotic, non-native plant and the bird is not adapted to taking nectar the usual way). #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Kelantan #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife

White-bellied Erpornis (Erpornis zantholeuca) – a small jungle bird, often overlooked. Was feeding on the Macaranga sp. fruit. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Kelantan #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife

Grey-rumped Treeswift (Hemiprocne longipennis) adult male feeding juvenile. A feeding sequence (adult regurgitated 3 food boluses) and a view of the beautiful juvenile. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Kelantan #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Yellow-breasted Flowerpecker (Prionochilus maculatus) feeding on Clidemia hirta fruit. Clidemia hirta syn. Miconia crenata is native to tropical America, now widely spread in Malaysia. A favourite of many flowerpeckers. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Kelantan #Malaysia @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

There are sunbirds and then there are SUNbirds. I saw Temminck's Sunbird (Aethopyga temminckii) twice in the past few weeks but failed to get decent images. Here is an iridescent male from last year in Sabah. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Malaysia @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Half Moon this morning. #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #moon

Crimson-breasted Flowerpecker (Prionochilus percussus), male. This tiny 7–10 g flowerpecker always reminds me of a military general with his white malar (moustachial) stripes. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Greater Racket-tailed Drongo (Dicrurus paradiseus) - an immature/juvenile bird. Been seeing this bird the past week, high up on far tree. This week has become very vocal. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife

Grey-breasted Spiderhunter (Arachnothera modesta) with spider prey. Not common to see spiderhunters taking spiders despite their name (Arachnothera – from 2 words: ‘arakhnēs’ means ‘spider’ and ‘thēras’ means ‘hunter’ by Jacob Temminck 1826). #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia

Lesser Green Leafbird (Chloropsis cyanopogon) female & male feeding on Macaranga bancana fruit. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Small fruit for the big birds but a mouthful for the smaller ones. Hume's White-eye (Zosterops auriventer) & male Brown-throated Sunbird (Anthreptes malacensis) feeding on Macaranga bancana fruit. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife

The Crimson-breasted Flowerpecker (Prionochilus percussus) female can look, from the side, like the Yellow-breasted Flowerpecker (P. maculatus). Fortunately, she turned for a second & that helped. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Black-headed Bulbul (Microtarsus melanocephalos) A striking jungle bulbul often in a vocal social group #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife
