Fraser's Hill August 2010

[Silverstreak]

Sharing two shots of this BF that caused 7 men to go nuts running all over the hill for a good shot...... while the two wives were shooting the breeze and laughing at us from the upper deck of the hill.

Note the two varieties of Lantana. Hopefully Inche Zaini's cuttings of the variety at the lower pic will survive , if not we will have to send Anthony ( by bus ) up Fraser's Hill to collect more!!

The last shot is beautiful.

Wow! Beautiful shot, Sunny!
#2 is good... #1 slightly over sharpened.

Cheers!

Did anyone put together a trip list of the butterflies seen? I would enjoy looking through this especially now since my C&P4 has arrived.

Also, I am curious about the Forest Quaker. The background appears to be well lit. Did you find it in an open area? I saw a couple but these were along the Kindersley Trail.

Sounds all too familiar!

David ,

Normally they are found in the deep shade . It is rather rare to find them in the open, but we found a few feeding on tiny flowers at an open barbecue area along the track on Jerai Waterfalls.

After going up and down the road to Jerai twice, I could not imagining going there from town without wheels!!!

Khew normally keep a checklist for the more often visited butterfly hot spots.

Cheers!
