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.

Black-thighed Falconet

From a distance, their tiny silhouettes were unmistakable.  Seeing the threesome, it was curiosity behind the attempt to determine their relationship.

Their regular presence in the area suggests that these birds roost here.

At this point it looked like three adults, the one on the extreme right being the most alert as I zoomed in, it immediately fled.




The two soon followed, and this time managed to allow some room for identification as young adults.





And then I only noticed this one when it flew over from know-not-where to land almost under cover, also a young adult.



And to my surprise another flew in, what looked like an even younger sub-adult.



Two weeks later
