The March 2024 issue of the Malaysian Bird Report is now available for download.

There are field reports on anting behaviour in birds, the Bornean Frogmouth, prey taken by the Black-thighed Falconet, diet of the Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot and courtship of the Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher. For those interested in raptors, Hans Peeters describes in great detail mimicry in birds of prey.
Of interest is a report by Dave Bakewell on new breeding records and potential new breeding observations for Malaysia; with at least 12 news species added. Tou Jing Yi updates us on recent taxonomic changes of birds in Malaysia (passerines). The Southeast Asia Regional Office of TRAFFIC shares very concerning data on the plight of Malaysia’s Oriental Magpie-Robins.
