Common Flameback

Happy is one who sees, happy is one who shares.

And happily I was directed to where happiness was, and I received.

One Common Flameback is joy, a pair is always a thrill no matter how often seen.

Mynas and Starlings

 The Javan Mynas wanna have fun too.







And just like that.
A touch-and go that sent the starlings fleeing to higher ground.

Black-naped Oriole

Another flight,  another opp, another caught.

Our fascination with flights never ceases.

I never fail to gasp at the breathtaking elegance and colours of the Black-naped Oriole as it takes flight, nature's free display and awe!






Whatever the angle, 'a thing of beauty is a joy forever'.
