Bangsar

My son and I arrived in Malaysia on Wednesday June 26th at the start of a family-based holiday. The first five days were spent getting some rest and enjoying the local food, and the only birds seen were in the streets near the house. I tallied just 18 species and these included Striated Heron, Spotted Dove and Common Myna, all birds seen in Australia. The best bird was a Javan Pond Heron at the kolam on Lorong Maarof, a new bird for Malaysia for me (I'd seen this bird in Thailand in 2011). An unexpected sight was a White-throated Kingfisher on top of the television antennae across the street.
