Hadada Ibis

 Shrieking and screaming, and criss-crossing at one end of the taman, the pair of Hadada Ibises announced their presence in the taman, yet not, as they kept to the taman edge, refusing to land inside.

Common Flameback

 Just getting by, it's not what it is, it's what you are.

Oriental Honey-Buzzard

 The heart leapt when I recognised the sihouette from afar.

It has been increasingly difficult to spot any migrant raptors such as Oriental Honey-Buzzards in the taman now with towering buildings mushrooming around the taman.

The transit visit of a Honey-Buzzard used to be a certainty sans these monstrosities, and as a bonus then, seeing a raptor on the ground was even not uncommon.

Ashy Minivet

 A flock of approximately eight, usually can't miss their presence due to their numbers, incessant movements and trill-like calls, noisy entrance and exit.

Eastern-crowned Warblers

Speedy, tiny, high up, and all over the place, couldn't decide how many there were, but undoubtedly Eastern-crowned Warblers going by the pale lower mandible sans dark tip, and pale yellow undertail coverts, suggesting young adults further affirmed by their moulting plumage. 

Falconet vs Spiderhunter

 One fine morning.

Look who dropped by, and I would have missed it if not for the following thrills!

As silently as it arrived it unexpectedly launched its offensive!

As a Chinese saying goes "a newborn calf fears not a tiger"....

And we have an easy winner!

But that's not the end.  However it looked like an eventual graceful withdrawal in an assertion of territory by the park avian residents.

A deliberate fly-by?!
