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.

It must be luck!

 It was loud and persistent, but it was elusive, but I knew, I knew.

And it had popped up in unexpected sites, and finally when I got it, I only managed two images before 'SD cards full' popped up!

Nightmare, or luck!?




It's the uncommon Yellow-eared Spiderhunter visitor to the hill park.

Spiderhunter

It's another great feeling to be able to add a new find to the number of bird species found in the taman, and this Yellow-eared Spiderhunter brings the count to a personal one of over 65, including both resident as well as migrant birds. 
     Simply great for the taman!!  I think it does not matter if the bird is a migrant, staying temporary at the taman, or merely passing through.  It simply proves that this taman is indeed vital as a transit or resting stop for these birds.
     With this Spiderhunter, I'm rather puzzled why we do not see more of it because the bird's common food is wild banana flower, and there is plenty in the taman.
