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.

Rufescent Prinia

 An unexpected visitor at the forest edge, a noisy continuous revelation of its presence.

Giddiness follows its hyperactiveness, challenges energise the tracker.

Nevertheless it's always a welcomed appearance, a combination of gray, brown and white does give it a sharp look!  And to complete it, its graduated tail does make one rather handsome-looking bird, and the legs!


As if on high, its rapid movements turn easily into a blurry of feathers.  
But one can still be lucky ....






The tail, slender and elegant.




A rare pause.



Its typical low foraging behaviour would have deprived many an image of its loveliness if it had chosen to persist down there.
