Blue Rock Thrush - Juvenile (Monticola solitarius)
There are a few residents here taken amidst the surroundings of the Chinese limestone cave temple "Kek Lok Tong" in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. It takes a little while to get used to the fact these birds prefer the rocks rather than the adjacent lush green jungles. They were seen to be feeding on small insects.

Beautiful close up. I love the details, the BG is perfect, and the exposure is amost perfect. You caught the catchlight in his eye and his pose is almost that of a military person. Wonderful composition. :)

Hi Phil,

Beautiful shot of this bird which is new to me. The pose is wonderful - colors are lovely - very fine details showing off his face and wonderful plummage. He shows off well against the nice background.
