The firmiana malayana or mata lembu, remains here in testimony to man's care-less-ness - its tree had since been felled. Let not the birds leave too.

First sighting

It was thrilling to have another first sighting, this time of the Little Bronze Cuckoo.  I have been told that it has been seen around ponds here.

This is the world’s smallest cuckoo, only 16 cm or 6 in long.  It is found in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand.  It is a lowland bird that prefers mangrove forest but can be seen regularly in secondary forest too.
