Taman Botany Shah Alam

 A walk with some friend in conjunction with the Global Big Day event. With Mr Andy leading the trip I hop on to the trip to assist. We sighted 45 species of bird for the morning exercise but im sure the team have no argument when I say it was not a very productive day compare to other session we have. 

Nevertheless some of the species we see and photograph such as the

White Rumped Shama where we spotted a pair flew cross the road and so on.

Later we heard the Banded Broadbill and long after we saw one individual in the area. 

3 species of bulbul sighted which is the Yellow Vented Bulbul, Red Eyed Bulbul and the Olive Winged Bulbul. Only the Olive Winged Bulbul were photographed today,

2 Leafbird were identified which is a Blue Winged Leafbird and Lesser Green Leafbird. The later was photograph

TBSA is not only good for bird. It is also a spot for butterfly and many species can be observed there such as this Malay Lacewinged.
