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.

Size does not count

I was happy to see the Oriental Pied Hornbill again, and in fact stood watching it preen for a couple of minutes.  It is indeed a pretty little gal, distinguished from its male by the black shading towards the tip of its upper bill.
     I turned around and it was gone.  But minutes later, I heard it shrieking across the park, chased by a Jungle Crow.  I guess size does not matter after all, being the bigger one yet it gave way to the Crow!
    It must have strayed into the Crow's territory because the Crow returned smugly to its perch after its chase.






Smaller but obnoxious
