Just when I was planning to shift base, I saw this Blue Faced Malkoha. Despite its lackluster colours, it is a beautiful and graceful bird. I haven&#8217;t seen much of this bird before, so decided to go looking for it though it went flying far off from where I was. I found it again and waited under the tree in which it hopped around. Although I was standing very close to it, this is all I could see of the bird through the branches.<\/p>\n<p>I am hoping to go back and look for this bird again in the next few days. After the Malkoha flew away, I must have spent another hour or so in the vicinity and shot a few pictures of birds, insects and plants. I will be posting them in the next few days once they are processed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2406\" title=\"blue faced malkoha\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.paintedstork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/blue_faced_malkoha.jpg\" alt=\"blue faced malkoha\" width=\"503\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.paintedstork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/blue_faced_malkoha.jpg 503w, http:\/\/www.paintedstork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/blue_faced_malkoha-243x300.jpg 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was walking around this morning on a birding outing and was unhappy at having seen nothing interesting for more than an hour.
