19/07/2019 Birds from Aman Perdana Marshes

We can't deny that oil palm plantation had gulped some of our wildlife since the 1960s. We lost our Green Peafowls due to the deforestation activity done for the plantattions. Yet, some abandoned oil palm plantation areas now serve as refuge for some of our wildlife. I managed to photograph some of the birds seen at an abandoned oil palm estate near Aman Perdana, which now turned into a freshwater marsh. 

Raptors, herons, egrets and rails were common here. Crested Serpent Eagles, Brahminy Kites, Black Winged Kites, and even White Bellied Sea Eagle were seen here. As for the herons, Grey Herons, Purple Herons and Little Herons were abundant as well. As for the egrets, Little Egrets, Intermediate Egrets and Cattle Egrets were commonly seen during my visit. 

Apart from these birds, I managed to sight a flock of Lesser Whistling Ducks few minutes after the sunrise. I had seen 3 rails here; White Breasted Waterhen, Watercock and Grey Backed Swamphen.

The bitter truth is, the abandoned oil palm estates around Aman Perdana are now been cleared for housing and highway projects. I couldnt find some of the birds I used to see few months back. I just hope they would had find a new home now.
