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.

Ever sensitive Waterhen

The White-breasted Waterhen is ever so wary of human presence.  Its sensitivity is so amazing it's able to sense a presence from a true distance.  Many times one has to content with distant shots of this adorable bird.
Nevertheless it's pretty entertaining to watch these birds when opportunities allow.

It looked like a confrontation was going on here as the bird on the left eventually had to leave!




On another occasion, I almost missed this one but for a slight movement that betrayed its presence.  Going forth for a closer shot, I simply gave away myself and it fled almost immediately.
