Chestnut-headed Bee-eater from Ipoh

They are know to be found in Ipoh, but was not my target for that day.
Since it decided to hang around, I redid some shots for my collections.

These are shot just outside the gates of Kek Lok Tong, Ipoh.

Tou, your camera can take this type of shots too.
For portrait shot, the birds was only about 4m away. No problem lah.

The farmhouse before the entrance.
