THANK YOU! I spotted the greater racket- tailed drongo at the Penang Botanical Gardens this Chinese New Year (2010) Thankfully I managed to look up the name from your photos.

Hi Sofiah, The yellow bird would be a black-naped oriole. I think the "cheeky sand coloured birds ... with a black mask across the eyes and a white head" are yellow-vented bulbuls. For more pictures of Malaysian birds, please visit http://www.birdinginmalaysia.com. The Malaysian Nature Society has a little store where you can find books on birds. The address and a map can be found here: http://www.mns.org.my/contact.php

I'm a British lady married to a Malaysian and a real nature girl at heart. My daughter is 3 and I'm trying to learn about the local flora & fauna & birds to teach her, I know a lot about British wildlife, but nothing here. We recently moved out of a condo into a house surrounded by well establiched trees & shrubs, so we see alot of birds and wildlife (like olive backed songbirds, HUGE black bee type insects, hard shells, that look vey dangerous but are beautiful, the usual black Mynahs and golden dragonflies) but yesterday I spotted a gorgeous pair of birds in a tree I thought were kingfishers but they were red-headed, green backed and blue tailed...seeing your sight answered my question, from here I see they're bee eaters. So just a question about 2 other birds that are common, but I have no idea what they are; 1 being the shy yellow bird that's quite large, has a gorgeous singing voice and black flashes on its wings and 2, the more courageous and cheeky sand coloured birds who are more delicate, always in pairs with a black mask across the eyes and a white head I believe?

Hi maxim_me, The birds were no more than 10 metres away when flash was used. Thanks for visiting!

Absolutely amazing collection of bird pics I didnt know there are such birds in malaysia !! you must have incredible patience to have captured these shots. I noticed you used flash in some of the shots. How far were you when you used flash ?
