Boh lah ! I wish !
This one is deep forest K.F leh.
Have heard about it for years but never until 8 days ago laid eyes on it.

What you saw was most likely a Common K.F.
Look very similar but this one blue is more intense.

mervin,
What a catch! Such a beautiful KF.
Seems like NPark is more proactive nowadays around
the favorite birding grounds, I have met them twice and were
told to be more careful too.

Very nice Mervin. Very nice indeed!

these two are quite bold. good that nparks has been making some rounds, as I hear some photographers actually go off the trail to get near the pair.
the only reason why the are so bold cos this is a very young pair.
think is their first season.
female still have sub-adult feathers.
next season one most likely would not see them again unless you go deep into the forest.
