Always worth the try, apparently?
What are your excellent pictures? Is the second one related to the European Robin?

Some beautiful pictures. Much brighter than most things that we see in England. Andf that looks nothing like out nuthatch - which I've not seen very often! Great

Guy F and JoanB,

The forest birds are much colorful compared to the species found in urban gardens. I will be going to a mangrove next week, hoping to get a glimpse of the mangrove pitta and next month......taman negara
