Birding and Flood

Can't go back to my home town (Temerloh) because of flood. Nothing to do, so took out my camera for quick birding at my backyard.
Found this 'Kelicap Mayang Kelapa' aka Brown-throated Sunbird (Anthreptes malacensis) (male) foraging at unknown flower. Edit:  after searching the net, I found the flower name:  Zigzag plant, local name 'Pokok Lipan'  scientific name: Euphorbia tithymaloides. Source: Wikipedia

I have been observing this 'Kedidi Kepala Kelabu' aka Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea)  playing around the monsoon drain  for some time. Only today that have a chance to photograph it
