after all!! wooohooo! Lifer!! Thanks Ramon and Dion!
When Ramon posted the Besra shot for ID, I decided to go to BK valley as soon as a chance arises. When I had a chance yesterday I immediately packed my gears and headed up the mountain with a friend and Ate Lyds.
I thought I went home empty handed but upon reviewing my shots I got the female Besra from about 150m away from the restaurant deck. I don't know what's the business of the Besra there? maybe, waiting for small birds that would be attracted to the ripening fruits of the fig.
Another bonus, and I'm really glad to see, are the all male tarictic feeding on the red fig fruits, another fig with yellow fruit is about to ripen. There is a good 2-3 weeks of spectacular views of feeding tarictics by just sitting and sipping coffee from Dion's rseto deck.
Had I known I had the Besra out in the open already I would have gone for other birds and not waited for it in the nesting site, getting soaked in sweat from all the camou gear I was wearing..hehehe.
The characteristic white eyebrow of the female gave the ID away.
