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.

Malkoha's poor choice

Archive image
I was obviously the intruder here but no matter, I got my shot and I moved on quickly because this Green-billed Malkoha was actually trying to build a nest in a low shrub.  Unfortunately because of its location (just by joggers' path so close to constant human traffic) and choice of low shrub, the partial nest was abandoned.
But because of its attempt I was able to observe it and its mate at closer and lower range than would be possible.
