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.

Minivet speeds through

 The Ashy Minivets (Pericrocotus divaricatus) have finally arrived at the taman.  These are normally sighted in a bird wave here, and typically keeps to higher canopy.  However a flock usually reveal its presence by trilling calls, and foraging movements.

These birds could come from south-eastern Siberia, north-eastern China, Korea, Japan or Taiwan.

On this occasion, only a couple were seen, and the female sighted with the other on a touch and go speed.
