Orange Headed Thrush
157) Orange Headed Thrush
Orange-Headed Thrush, Geokichla citrina, Murai Dada Oren
Found in well-wooded areas of the Indian Subcontinent through Thailand, Malaysia to Java. The species shows a preference for shady damp areas, and like many Zoothera thrushes, can be quite secretive. Its habitat is moist broadleaved evergreen woodlands, with a medium-density undergrowth of bushes and ferns, but it also utilises bamboo forests and secondary growth. The orange-headed thrush is a shy, secretive bird usually occurring alone or in pairs, but is comparatively more easily seen than many other Zoothera thrushes, and several birds may congregate outside the breeding season at a good food source. It has a swift, silent flight, but when disturbed will often sit motionless until the threat has passed. The orange-headed thrush is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and fruit. It nests in trees but does not form flocks. The orange-headed thrush feeds on the ground in dense undergrowth or other thick cover. It is most active at dawn and dusk, probing the leaf litter for insect and their larvae, spiders, other invertebrates and fruit. In Malaysia, wintering birds regularly feed on figs.
Pelawat musim sejuk ke negara kita. Burung ini agak sukar di lihat kerana sifatnya yang gemar bersembunyi dalam belukar dan mencari makan di lantai hutan yang suram dan lembab. Ia paling aktif ketika pagi dan senja, memburu serangga di celah celah daun gugur dan buah di kawasan lantai hutan. Agak sukar merakam gambarnya kerana pengcahayaan hutan dan halangan ranting dan batang pokok di dalam belukar. Burung yang ini muncul seketika di celah belukar selama beberapa saat untuk saya rakam.
Exif: f2.8, 1/50, ISO 1000, focal length 400mm, Cik Canon EOS 80D, lens Canon 400mm, tripod
