A super find for you Cheong Weng Chun, it's over 2 years since we last saw a picture of this species come in.

You've taken a fantastic picture of him too my friend - very well done. Your patience was rewarded. I hope your guest had an equally good experience with his images.
 
thank you everyone for the comments. well, we were supposed to spend 2 hours for this bird. but since this is the major target, we had to sacrifice the other targets.
