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.

The striped one

 It was not conflict but infliction, human infliction.

A repose broken.

But this completed my Shrike sightings for the season, albeit it took comparatively longer to finally seek out a Tiger Shrike (Lanius tigrinus)(Tirjup Harimau).

What's in a name?
'Tirjup' means twisted, or to stun, but add the word 'burung', 'burung tirjup' refers specifically to a shrike bird, perhaps therein lies the rationale. 



And what's up?

The power of one, for even a tinier shall command the moment.


Awaiting, game? the spotter and the spotted ....


Suffice, to know you there, harmless.



Another day, another presence.


Just a comparison.
