Siberian Blue Robin: Moulting

25th March 2012, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

Local Name: Burung Murai Siberia

She looked different from the last  time I saw her , the blue  has come out darker and the black band  around the throat is more obvious. The changes  appeared over a period of approximately 9 weeks.

  1. Hi Madi

    I'd be grateful if you could let me know the approx first and last dates on which this bird was observed. I would also very much like to feature an article documenting the moult of this bird from the earliest to the latest stages. If you have (or know of) a series of photos which could illustrate this, could you get in touch with me? (digdeep1962atyahoodotcom). By the way, it's a 'he' not a 'she'!
