Frogmouth 3/5 (Lifer 480) - Gould's Frogmouth

This is a mega lifer for me in the year 2017 which bring my tally to 480. As usual  the news came late to me. Then it was a mad early morning rush to the port with some guidance of an ole acquaintance   The bird was very responsive even in the late morning as other birders were calling it out. Once it is spotted it remains at its perch for umpteen hours for all fellow birders taking the best position to shoot it. Though the hive of moving about of bird photogs below the bird was not perturb unless somebody move too near it to get full frame shot.

I was shooting without my tripod setup but with the help of a fellow birding shoulder to stabilise my shoot at 1/30s ISO3200. The Fuji X-T2 manage to churn out good resolution photos though not as tack sharp as I wanted in the low light condition.

The Goulds is my third Frogmouth and the target one is the Blyth's  which can be sighted as near as FRIM, Rimba Rekreasi Lentang and Bukit Frasers from KL.



Thanks Rob
