White-headed Munias

Nothing is common, only to eyes that only see.

 A common bird but uncommon to the taman, an occasional visitor, the  pair of White-headed Munias was a pleasant find, and another too.

Looked like little escaped the instinct of this one, even as I was far off, on the opposite side of the pond.

Followed by its mate ...

... into the mysterious, the intriguing, in the interwoven cluster of a shrub.

... and out, and still alert to my presence.

This lone soul of a Baya Weaver made for the two most common grass-seed eaters of the taman.

Did she simply tag along, in like-minded company?!

Daurian Starling

Just a small family of Daurian Starlings, mixing with Asian glossy starlings.

A female, probably parent, with two sub-adults.

And then another

Not all fruits are edible, yet.

The family of three ....

Insect Pupa

 

Probably a pupa of a beetle or moth.

Rice Earhead Bug

 

Rice earhead bug (Leptocorisa acuta)

Asian Brown Flycatcher

 It's pretty amusing that due to the dearth of migrant visitors to both the taman and bukit, to sight this Asian Brown Flycatcher could bring such delight!

In fact, it's my first sighting in the taman since the migratory season started though perhaps it could have been here since but not sighted personally.

Grey Wagtail

 Just for play, playing for the sake of playing, a juvenile Grey Wagtail didn't need much for play, a mere dry leaf.

And, hello there!

Time when it didn't pump its tail up and down.

At home in both water and on land.
