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.

Eyeballing with the flycatcher

 The Dark-sided Flycatcher (Muscicapa sibirica) is a bird that normally keeps to the middle or upper canopy, sallying after flying insects and in between, perch on open branch.

However this one kept coming down to the lower branches and eyeballing me from time to time.



And it's also a creature of habits, frequently returning to the same branch.



A very rare occasion when a dark-sided flycatcher comes within metres and at eye level.
