Little Bronze Cuckoo, Ipoh.

I was lucky to spot and digiscope a lifer, a Little Bronze Cuckoo in Bercham, Ipoh on 16th of April, before continued my journey to Cameron Highlands. This was the third time I encountered with Cuckoo in Ipoh.

Let's take a look of this cute and beautiful Little Bronze Cuckoo:

Besides that, I also spotted an adult Tiger Shrike in Bercham, Ipoh, after I came back from Cameron Highlands. I had seen the juveniles in many locations, but this was my first encounter with the adult Tiger Shrike, probably the last month for the shrike to stay before migrate back to the north. CLICK HERE to learn more about Shrikes.

Here are other birds that I spotted and digiscoped during my stop at Ipoh:
