Low light and distance meant even Herman's camera struggled!

Such a rarity ... seeing that even Herman sometimes struggles with distance and light .  All other beauties are up to Herman's high standards. But the light in Malaysia is not as favourable as the light in South Africa?

406. Chinese Huamei

 

Sneaking in my best stab at a pure EBC, this very very skittish bird just took off when I raised my camera - and I was hidden by a glass panel too! its distinctive eye pattern can just be made out. I've never seen a huamei in the wild before (only caged ones or escapees) which is a reason why I'm unabashedly adding it to my count. 

 

 

 

 This is a brilliant EBC. Has all the needed detail to confirm it's ID ( I googled it as it's a species I have never heard of) but a perfectly bad shot too as nothing is in focus!!

My EBC of the year

I find it amazing that the two of you still consider it worth while coming here when you have such incredibly beautiful and colorful birds virtually on your doorstep!

[Kitsafari]

Had to edit #425 which should have been Little Green Pigeon and not Little Cuckoo Dove. too much cuckoo in the brain cells. 

 

@xelasthe grey skies and thick cover of the forest in Malaysia certainly didn't help with a black bird!

@Dave Williams thank you. isn't it weird and crazy to thank someone for saying the photo was a perfectly bad shot??!!

@Peter Connan what - and miss seeing those big magnificent raptors and big cats and big rhinos over there? No Way!

An absolutely stunning collection of birds. Beautiful birds, beautiful photos

Again a beautiful collection of birds, both in the variety of species and in the way they were photographed !

Thanks much @TonyQ and @PeterHG.
