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.

Iora excitement

I got pretty excited when I saw these images and thought them to be of the Green Iora, but these turned out to be just those of the female Common Iora.  The most distinct feature between these two species must be the eye, the Green Iora has clear yellow eyering.   The mistake of identification normally lies with the female Common Iora which also has greenish body.
