Q1 2010 part 3 Borneo, Wildlife Tabin Reserve

  

Tabin Wildlife Reserve 


Mr and Mrs White-crowned Hornbill flew by the center twice: the first time just upon my arrival, the 2nd time when I got into the car to leave.

The newly named Rubycheek.

The red jungle fowl rooster lookes just like our domestic type, but for a small white patch XXX

And acts like it, too.

Painted Jezzebel


When we couldn’t go out the staff helpt me find more critters inside and around  the buildings.

Like these huge moths.  


Big and small grasshoppers

This fellow in the cook’s frog pond

     


A Crab Spider web in the yard and Horsfield’s Gliding Gecko on the ceiling.   


Another Bornean white crown: the White-crowned Shama

Anyone wanting to see these up close: Tabin is the place.

Velvet-fronted Nuthatches were often seen in the trees at the entrance of the resort.   



 West Viscount   &   Palm King 


Brown Wood Owl


Only one orchid in bloom at the cafe, but many Dragon Tails around

My favorite, the Leopard Cat, comes out at night to hunt in plantations. Saw 4 of them twice.

A flowerpecker  that couldn’t get enough of the little red berries in the flower of Elephant’s Ear after the rain. He was starving.     


Left the gibbons, right the leaf monkey that seemed to be living with them.

No episode without the colorful Crimson Sunbird

A Gould’s Frogmouth sitting 3m above and allowed us a good look for a few seconds.

Fast asleep, this little Tailorbird
