I will tell you about the spectacular black and red broadbill (Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchos), KM-97); great egret (Ardea alba [= Casmerodius albus], KM-99); green imperial pigeon (Ducula aenea), KM-98); and brown shrike (Lanius cristatus), KM-100. Black and Red Broadbill The broadbill family has only 15 species, 11 Asian and four African. Nine occur in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. The black and red species occurs in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra. In Peninsular Malaysia it lives in primarily lowland rainforests and is usually observed around water. It is fairly common and easily observed.
