| Long-tailed Shrike (Lanius schach) broadcasting its sharp cracking call over the neighbourhood. |

The much-awaited bird came close to the garden this morning. After hearing its call, I came out to the garden to locate its where about. Its sharp cracking call alerted me to its location. Perching on an electric cable at the edge of the garden, its eyes were intent on the ground below probably sighting its prey. It came in a party of three and when they re-grouped, their calls reverberated over the neighbourhood in joyful chorus. This bird is peculiarly seen in Kuching and I find it rather difficult to see them in Bintulu.
