CNY in Alor Setar

After my boy got chicken pox, i had to cancel my first birding trip of the year with my sifu David Bakewell. The trip turns out to be very fruitful and i could have had 3 lifers. Anyway, family comes first! So i tried to do some birding and practicing my macro at the backyard. Here are some of the findings..

My first ant-mimic spider,

A nice damselfly,

A bluish dragon,

A house fly,

A mosquito, maybe the larvae?

A nice green spider with prey,

A flock of red rumped swallow and lots of jungle myna came to feed on insects while the harvester starts cutting the paddy. 

A considerably threatened bird in the wild caused by pet trade, a red whiskered bulbul came close as a respond to its calling caged friend. I heard that another wild individual was caught two weeks before. 

A robberfly,

A nice spider,

A yellow bittern caught a climbing perch,

trying to swallow it and it succeeded.

It is not too bad Chinese New Year holiday after all. Thanks all for reading!
