I have no idea to describe how happy I was when I see this male Rufous Vented Niltava,another lifer to me.It was non stop raining for the whole day until I'm about to quit,this superstar suddenly came out from the dense forest and playing hide and seek with me and the rain stop just after that.

This photo was taken in last year during a trip to Fraser's Hill.This Niltava is very beautiful and lovely,if you see it in real world.One of my favourite bird.
