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.

The Munia exposed!

Watching the Scaly-breasted Munia can be a captivating occasion, i.e. its balancing act.  It's also when one gets to admire the bird's gorgeous plumage as it's revealed when the bird twists, twirls and whirls on the wild grass, exposing its under-parts such as the throat, breast, flank, belly, vent, and under-tail coverts.











Munias rarely forage alone.  It's always a family or social event.
