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.
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.
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.
One fine morning.
