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.

As I was passing by

 This was the first time I came across three Common Tree Shrews (Tupaia glis).  The tree shrew tends to move about singly, and unlike the plantain squirrel will scoot instantly when alerted to human presence.

It feeds on a mixed diet of insects and ants plus fruits and seeds, and unlike the squirrel that it's always mistaken for, is hardly seen on trees.
