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.

Lost opp with Buzzard


Too preoccupied with helping the juvy Crested Goshawk, I lost the opportunity to get better shots of the Oriental Honey-buzzard and another.  Ahhh, that’s life!!  
Nevertheless, it proves once again that the taman is at such an essential location, being the raptor migratory season, it has once again provided a transit stop for migratory birds.




Early in the season, one could already see these migratory raptors glide and fly past the taman, in small groups, to their usual refuge in Indonesia and Australia (see post of 22 Jan 2018).  These birds include the Oriental Honey Buzzards, Black Baza, Chinese Goshawk and Peregrine Falcon.
