Media notes
Just wanted to have a simple birding at riverside of Kampung Permatang after my working hours. I was looking for some common birds to photograph. After nearly an hour, on my way out to main road, saw a long bird perched on a cable at around 50m in front of my car. Initially, I thought it was a Chestnut-winged Cuckoo (CWC). When looked through my camera, then only knew that was actually other cuckoo which similar to CWC. The bird stayed on the cable for 2 minutes until a motorbike frightened it away. Photo being sent to Dave Bakewell, Neor Hor Kee & Tou Jing Yi and they all confirmed it as Jacobin / Pied Cuckoo. Also reported to Records Committee.
