532) Chestnut Crowned Warbler
Chestnut Crowned Warbler, Phylloscopus castaniceps, Cekup Mata Putih
High octane fast moving small bird. Few times i manage to see this species under thick canopy of highland rainforest. But it too fasts for my camera. That evening I got lucky to get this image. Not very good, but still good enough for record shot as my no 532 lifers.

530) Collared Owlet
Collared Owlet, Collared Pygmy Owl, Taenioptynx brodiei, Pungguk Kecil Gunung
For 8 years I have been coming up and down the hill to photograph this species. Few times I manage to hear it calling under the trees canopy but never get a single shot for a good photo. That day must be my lucky day as the owl resting on open branch for me finally got a shot I always wanted and ticked my lifer.
Last lifer for me at the end of 2023. 530 lifers now. Looking for more in 2024.
