Lots of birds from Sabah, Borneo

Thanks for the help guys. Still not sure on this one, my book says that Thick-billed has a plain olive-green throat and breast compared to the white throat and yellow breast of the Little Spiderhunter. I've got another shot here but i can't judge the colour that well...

Sorry for having so many :p I have the phillips' field guide but some of those raptors and flycatchers are just such a headache! Anyway here we go: 1. Possible Bat-hawk? Was found outside Gomantong caves. http://i.imgur.com/8kqoA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pOIlj.jpg...

This Galah was not happy with his company! But the Hobby seemed pretty disinterested :)

Mallee Ringneck

The Mallee Ringneck is a subspecies of the Australian Ringneck. Beautiful parrots but they are very flighty!

Sacred Kingfisher

This was a great spot for kingfishers, nice big boardwalk to view them from.

Gah, these guys are very hard to get out in the open! Spent a few hours trying to get a good shot of this one.

Male Common Bronzewing. Found this guy wandering around a golf course so he was pretty tame!

Variegated Fairywren

There's an out-of-focus branch cutting off its back so i thought i'd try a closer crop.
