Lineated Barbet

 How many ways are there to scan and pick, with a beakful?

Let's go!

End of show!

Dark-necked Tailorbird

 Should one need a challenge, there's nothing like trying to keep up with a Tailorbird.

Even with a young one trailing behind, the parent Dark-necked Tailorbird didn't miss a beat foraging, perhaps training its young at the same time.

The parent not too far away.

Ruby-cheeked Sunbird

 A gem of the forest, its 'ruby' shines forth.

Unequally for the female who lacked that lustre; and this one also seemed to lack the boldness to forage in the foreground.

The more vibrant male Ruby-cheeked Sunbird was more forthcoming, and more energetic too.

The treat was over when the eyes were fully 'satiated'.

Abbott's Babbler

Was it a squabble, was it a courtship, the heated exchange between the Abbott's Babblers was there for all to hear.  And the continuous posturing of the two birds further raised the temperature of the display.

So absorbed these two were pretty much oblivious to my close watch.  Unfortunately the dense undergrowth was a bane to a feast for the eyes, however their melodic exchange did entertain the ears.

A final call-out before the two fled together.

Tailorbirds

 An Ashy Tailorbird posed fluffy and endearing, open in bright sunshine whilst a Dark-necked Tailorbird would have appeared likewise too if not confined to the undergrowth.

Stripe-throated Bulbul

Another young life that saw daylight whilst still not quite learning how to survive on its own yet - a young Stripe-throated Bulbul that was seen trailing after its parent and waiting for feeds.

Great Myna

Almost nondescript, the Great Myna could easily be dismissed for any of the more common mynas.  

However, look again, its crest does holler for attention, one rather chic looking one too, a feature that lifts it off its otherwise drab outlook - now spunky, jaunty, strutting like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever!
