The Pied Triller visits daily



Pied Triller up on the 'Poui' (Tabebuaia rosea) tree branch.

 I have been watching closely this peculiar Kuching bird for a few days now.  I say it as such because in Bintulu it is quite difficult to stumble upon this bird.  At the Kambatik garden in Kuching they are a familiar sight.  Like any other normal day I would look up at the tall branches of the Tabebuia rosea tree at the back garden  to sight them.  When not in the morning, they will not fail to show themselves up in the afternoon.  Today I saw a small party of three of them in the garden. Upon being alerted of my presence  they immediately  flew away from the branches and landed at the Coconut tree and Cabbage tree across the road where we stayed.  Their greyish, white and combined with black colours are in contrast to the overall greenery.  They usually come to the garden quietly and unnoticed.
