Birds shot in Langkawi and Penang

Had fun spending the last days of last year in Langkawi and Penang. Friends from Singapore picked me up in my hometown and we made our way to Penang for 4 days 3 nights...Our itinerary in Langkawi was also 4 days 3 nights but upon chancing on a fruiting fig tree filled with hornbills, we extended one more day! Ha ha....
of all my shots, i loved the chestnut bee-eaters' shots more....

This black-capped kingfisher really made us worked hard to get a shot of him....
All the images (except the raptors' shots) were shot from inside the car using beanbag. Raptors' shots were handheld, from the speedboat. Overall, it was a great bird photography trip....a great end to 2009.
