Abbott's babbler

 Did a reference with : https://singaporebirds.com/species/abbotts-babbler/
This babbler is an uncommon resident. 

This is the first time I sighted a Abbott's Babbler and never expect their calls to be mellow yet beautiful. Both will call out and somehow synchronize with each other.

I thought it was 5 years ago since I met it. After checking out my blog here, I realised it was 4 years ago since I last spotted them. Really not easy to meet them. They are not everywhere.

I was lucky to spot it jumping out from under the boardwalk.
So cute.

My first time meeting up with this couple. Only able to take a few shots and they flew away.
These pictures were so precious to me because up till now as at Jun 2022, I have yet to meet another Abbott's Babbler.

I was attracted to the calls from 2 of this bird that made me move in to check on them.

Initially, we thought they are ordinary chicks but somehow its calls were like singing to me, so I decided to just snap a few shots and check out later.

Later, I met a senior birder and he shared with me that this should be a Abbott's Babbler.

I went back for the next 2 months, though able to hear their calls, there are no signs of them.
Went back recently and I still not able to spot them, no calls were heard as well. 
When will I meet them again?
