I got this bird in Juru, Butterworth in September 2007 and it can be found in a variety of wooded habitats, from montane forests to coastal mangroves and open woodlands, especially during migration. A conspicuous bird and often seen sitting high on an open branch and it flies out to catch insects in the air. Camera specs: nikon d2x with 600mmf4d lens, aperture priority mode with aperture set @ f/5.6 and shutter speed of 1/80s, iso @ 320…enjoy !!!
This was shot in Juru, Butterworth and is a new migratory bird, yes, is called the Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis) but is not from India, hahaha…we were in the new place quite early in the morning and waited for this migratory bird to appear and yes it did and i am lucky to have shot quite a few of this bird for my record…
Was lucky enough in one of the outing in November 2007 and i got this full frame shot of the Common KingFisher (Alcedo atthis), a migratory bird at around this time in Juru, Butterworth, a lifer for me…
