Striated Heron observed in Malaysian Park

Posted on 27 June 2024 by E Y

These photographs of a Striated Heron was taken on 1 November 2023 in Taman Tasik Shah Alam – a park in Malaysia. We wasn’t expecting to be taking photographs as the sunlight was rather harsh during the middle of the day. When this Striated Heron showed itself, I could resist and start snapping. To my surprise, the particular spot the heron was at had fairly decent soft filtered light.

The heron was on a path that is elevated. I was in a gully and pointed the camera at the bird while in a standing position. This provided a low camera position to capture these delightful images.

Malaysia Macaque

This photograph was taken in Malaysia’s Taman Bukit Kiara Park. It depicts what I believe is a Long-tailed Macaque – a common monkey of Southeast Asia.

Taman Bukit Kiara is a public park with a stream running through it. It is popular with local residents. There is a fairly sizeable population of these primates calling the park home.
