A Few Malaysian Birds and Insects
The following pictures were mainly taken around the Marlborough School campus where I was staying. They were taken with my Olympus mirrorless camera equipped with a 300mm (600mm – 35mm camera equivalent) lens. It’s quite difficult to hold steady but is particularly useful for insects close-ups, where a macro lens setup would require the camera to be so close that the insect would no doubt ‘buzz off’.

Love my insects! When they are not biting me. Beautiful photography, once again.
Did you have rest of ant’s family in view, that is why you knew building a nest?
What a variety of birds you photographed.
