What's not to love of the Iora

If not for the fact that the Common Iora is a common resident in many parks, it will probably be much sought after.  It is one of the loveliest birds no matter which way one views it, with the striking yellow of the male or the lime green of the female, and the contrasting white and black back and tail feathers.
It is also sought after by poachers for its melodic call, of which I had an encounter once.  For safety reason I was unable to confront the person alone but could only hang around, close by, to cause  discomfort till he left on his own will!

Against the almost similar colour gorgeous leaves of the raintree, the Iora still stood out from a distance.
