Maybach at Penang International Airport

I never imagined I would see a Maybach in Penang... but there it was today outside the Departure Hall, waiting for the prince of Perlis.

Brahminy Kite

31OCT09: It's a Brahminhy Kite (Haliastur indus)! Thanks to Joe Quek and his girlfriend for the information!

Ferrari 400

First ever Penang-registered (PHP9933) Ferrari I saw in Penang. This is a 1976 Ferrari 400 2+2 rear-wheel-drive coupe with a General Motors THM400 automatic transmission and a massive front-mounted 4.8L V12. Photographed while driving, and the driver probably got a shock seeing a nutcase stick out a little Canon compact digital to shoot his rare and lovely car.

Mercedes-Benz?

If you can't afford a Mercedes-Benz, just buy a Toyota Camry, and then get a body kit to make it look like one. This Mercedes look-alike was spotted at Penang Airport's carpark this afternoon. Looks pretty good, eh?

What bird is this?

Need help to ID this bird... is it a White-throated Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis)?

Photographed at the fence next to the airport runway. What's a Kingfisher doing in a place with absolutely no fish???
