2 more full days at Frasers hill..... an early start to try our luck for some thrushes. We were fortunate to quickly bag a Blue Whistling Thrush as well as a stunning Orange Headed Thrush, then we picked up a colourful Green Magpie..... it wasnt even light yet.
A drive to Jeriau waterfall didnt get us out target bird of Silver Breasted Broadbill but did get us an Everetts Whiteye and plenty of Grey Wagtails and Drongos.... this looks to be a prosperous area to bird, maybe we were just very unlucky as we found it very quiet.

Back up at the town we tried the well trodden but productive Telecom Loop, here I got my best views of Cuckoo Dove
This Ashy Bulbul was one of many Bulbul species seen
Red eyed Bulbul
Other Bulbuls included Black Crested, Streaked, Hairy Backed, Yellow Bellied, Spectacled, Cream Vented amongst others, however one of the best for me was the
Stripe Throated Bulbul
and yet another stunning Barbert species, this time a
Black Browed Barbet
The bird waves at Frasers Hill were usually productive, today we were fortunate to get a shot of this
Yellow Bellied Warbler
one of the highlights (yet again on the Telecom Loop)
Long Tailed Broadbill
a long drive down the new road brought us virtually face to face with a stunning Raptor.
We accidentaly flushed and disturbed this Blyths Hawk Eagle, however he rounded a nearby corner and was sat perched when we arrived
one of the stars of Frasers Hill has to be this species
Chestnut Capped Laughingthush
some of the other species seen were Siberian Thrush, Speckled Piculet, Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo, Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Bar winged Flycatcher Shrike and this wonderful
Yellownape
and a rather funky looking
Chestnut Crowned Warbler
Day 7 was going to be a day of travel and a long journey to the Rainforest at Taman Negara
