My initial thoughts were to continue with this current blog but it would be shame to leave that one idling after so much effort had been poured into it to reach its current state.</font></p> <p><font size="2">So effective immediately I will be posting on the original ‘ Wings Among Us’ at <font color="#ffff00"><font size="4"><a href="http://madibirder.blogspot.com/">madibirder.blogspot.com</a></font>.</font> However, I will still keep this blog alive (not updated) in case the gremlins strike again.</font></p> <p><font size="2">I thank all for supporting this site and I hope it has given you the pleasure that it has given me. If you are new to the site I would be honoured to have you as my follower on the original blog.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Thank you</font></p> <p><font size="2">Best wishes</font></p> <p><font size="2">Mohd Rosmadi Hassan @ madibirder</font></p> madibirderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17429680112050957419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697645055591104869.post-49743714703304137412012-06-30T01:13:00.001-07:002012-06-30T01:13:29.117-07:00Little Cuckoo Dove<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="502"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="500"><font color="#ff0000">5th May 2012, , Fraser’s Hill, Pahang</font></td></tr></tbody></table> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="709"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="707"> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <p align="left"></p> <h3 align="left"><font size="2"><font style="font-weight: normal">Local Name: Tekukur Api</font></font></h3> <h3 align="left"><font size="2"><font style="font-weight: normal">Scientific Name: </font><em><font style="font-weight: normal">Macropygia ruficeps</font></em></font></h3> <p align="left">It was very late in the evening and the light was fading fast but luckily she came back to roost before it was completely dark.

The Mangrove Pitta is one of a few species of Pittas which can be found in the Peninsular and as the name suggests they are most at home in the swampy mangrove habitat , mainly along the west coast of the Malaysian peninsular.</p> <p align="left">I don’t usually travel far for my birding but the lure of the Pittas were simply irresistable since the oportunity to shoot a rare species as the Mangrove Pitta is, doesn’t come everyday. The first day was a big let down when the birds failed to show up. On the second day things began to hot up very early when we heard their repeated calls at about 9.00am. Finally there they were, a pair of Pittas right in front of our eyes in their full glory.</p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-BBPwumU6S0w/T4Tkz44PuAI/AAAAAAAAAnA/02wG7dIqcm4/s1600-h/KMH_5553%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;
