Birding in Kinta Nature Park

Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)

Kinta Nature Park is located at Batu Gajah of Perak, Malaysia. The bird life here is super rich, it was claimed that the park is home to more than 130 species of birds and has the largest heronry in the country on one of its islands. We visited the park during the breeding season, thousand of herons were spotted on one of the islands. The herons were collecting nesting materials and flying over from all direction. The sight is simply spectacular!

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)

Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea)

It was a cloudy day, which is great for bird photography especially for the birds with white plumage. There are plenty of photography opportunities. This time I focus on simple composition - by photographing the single bird over the plain background, such as lake that reflected overcast sky. It's work out great!

Enjoy the pictures! Happy Saturday!
