Yesterday was a pretty good day for birding. I got to see a few new things in the morning and then a real treat while we were in Kejom-Ketingo in the afternoon.

• Mousebird
• Black-necked Weaver
• Pygmy Kingfisher

And, I’m pretty happy to say that I identified the Black-necked Weaver all on my own. :-) I only got a brief glimpse of the Pygmy Kingfisher, but it’s the second brief glimpse I’ve gotten of it, so I think I’ll count it.

• Neumann’s Starling

This one was awesome! We got to watch it swoop around and catch flies. The red wingtips flashed brightly in the sunlight as it gracefully maneuvered around its prey. Why couldn’t that crazy Shakespeare fan have brought this kind of Starling over? It’s way better than the European variety.
