Getting There...

I spent half the night last night to edit some of the bird photos I have taken recently during the weekend outing with close friends at National Park and the subsequent family outing at Mimpian Jadi Resort.

All this while hubby has been spoon feeding me when it comes to the editing part. I know sooner or later I have to do it myself.

On Sunday night...

Hubby : Ok...press this together, and this and this...
Self : Ok...
Hubby : Waitttt! (as I started to move away)...belum habis lagi...look carefully (hui...garang)
Self : Ok...(concentrating hard)...wait, wait...(getting a piece of paper)...let me jot it down...



It is very important to insert the copyright sign and your name on your photos or else orang2 yang kureng sikit rasa tanggungjawab dorang tu can steal them and claim them as their own. Kita penat2 tangkap gambar, senang2 pula dorang stake a claim on it.


After numerous trials and errors, this is what I have come out with...




Yellow-Vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus Goiavier)



...I spotted this pair on the open field near our chalet at Mimpian Jadi Resort...(somehow rather I can't seems to make the font bigger, puas dicuba-cuba ndak mengasi juga)




On the morning before checking out, hubby and myself legar2 around our chalet when he called out...



Hubby : Inflight, inflight...wood sparrow...
Self : Alamak...alamak...ndak sempat...
Hubby : It will circle back...
Self : Ya ka...
Hubby : Ya...ready ready ja...it will come back...
self : Wah betul oh...
Hubby : (rolling eyes)



True enough, the wood sparrow did circle back, gliding around and around. I made a mental note, do not question hubby in future when it comes to the birds' habits.



I was very pleased with this ...



Wood Sparrow

...it seemed to say...catch me if you can...

Now, the rest of the photos (the one yang ndak kena bin la) is queueing up for their editing...

p.s. Babe, I did it...yeah...
