Tailorbird's out

 Juvy's exploration, watched over and trailed by the Dark-Necked Tailorbird parent.

Total absorption, a pursuit that unfortunately resulted in no yield.

Almost edible

As I was passing by

Thanks for the presence!

 

The other beauties

Long-chinned stingless bee (Geoniotricona thoracica)

Peacock pansy (Junonia almana)

Short-horned grasshopper (Phaeloba antennata)

Forest cockroach (Hermithyrsocera vittata)

Hoverfly (Mallota)

Pecking order

 While the Common Flameback Woodpecker parents engaged in their dalliance, the sub-adult was not too far away calling at intermittence, perhaps to remind the parents of its presence.

It was the first one to reveal itself by its calls, freezing as I approached and remaining in the same spot outlasting my watch.

Evading me as I attempted to move in.

And I was only too happy to chance upon the parents in their own privacy a few metres away.

Pygmy woodpecker

Another regular to the taman.

The challenge is always to capture the Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker's special red markings on its rear crown.

 

Iora's display

 What's natural for one, achievement for another.

But it's simply all in a morning's work for the Common Iora.

A sensitivity, that it was not alone!

Didn't think it pause to appreciate the flowers!

Hardly the two foraged together, usually one following the other, the male on another tree.
