Superb shots, and your kingfisher shot is much better than mine.

Excellent shots, Jonathan!

Billy, looks like it. And I remember that Chng also shot a Chestnut Bob on the Leea rubra flowers. Will have to add these two to the checklist.

Was just wondering, LC named the vagrant as Vagrans egista macromalayana, Dr Seow named it as Vagrans sinha macromalayana, C & P 4 named as Vagrans egista macromalayana, so how should we name it, Master Khew?
http://www.pbase.com/lcgoh/image/124236274

[Silverstreak]

Vagrans egista macromalayana has became synonym

Vagrans sinha sinha is the current name

We cannot catch up with them naming and renaming these butts can we !!??

Pisuth has also named it Vagrans sinha sinha in his latest edition of Butterflies of Thailand .

The subspecies macromalayana of Vagrans sinha is now a synonym of subspecies sinha.
Formerly ssp macromalayana covers Sundaland (ie. greater Malaya/Malaysia, old zoogeographical term) and the Philippines.

As with a strongly migratory species it is often impossible to differentiate between continental & insular forms.
Vagrans sinha sinha now extends from India to the philippines.
Yutaka website shows the distribution of V. sinha sinha.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hel/710140010.html

The Philippine websites only list V. sinha sinha. for example.
