Magpie- Robin or Murai Kampung (Malay) Location : Cempedak Hill, Zone G |
On a Sunday morning, I thought how pleasant it would be to have a stroll around the park. I was trying to look for a surprise. Any surprise. The surprise came in the form two birds and a chick. Firstly, the Magpie Robin was singing her heart out to the denizens of the park. Pitching her voice to a melodious tune, her song ran for a couple of minutes but stopped when she spotted me. Later, at the same tree a lone Blue-throated Bee-eater took to the perch unnoticed by me but soon as I took a glimpse of it, the colourful bird flew away. It has been a while since the bee eater has been spotted perching on the Cempedak tree. Finally, as I was about to finish my morning walk, my eyes were focussed on a black object that moved about the short grasses near the Kruak Wetlands. And sure enough it was a young White-breasted Waterhen, but because it was still very very young the white breast didn't show. She was all black.
