Birds – Pipit and Ciak
In Malay the word ‘Pipit’ is general term that cover many birds that sing a song “pit-pit-pit”.
There are six Pipits in Lonchura sp, and I have only photographed three of them.
(another 3 in my wanted list are: (i) Black-headed Munia/Chesnut Munia (Lonchura malacca) -seen at Kemensah but no photo, (ii) White-bellied Munia (Lonchura lucogastra), and (iii) Dusky Munia (Lonchura fuscans) – only in Sabah & Sarawak (endemic)
(1) Pipit Pinang – Scaly-breasted Munia (Lonchura punctulata)
the Juvenile Pipit Pinang
(2) Pipit Tuli – White-rumped Munia (Lonchura striata)
(3) Pipit Uban – White-headed Munia (Lonchura maja)
the Juvenile Pipit Uban
The is the only Pipit that have an English name- Paddyfield Pipit (Anthus rufulus) – but Malay called it Ciak Bendang
