After a few weeks of haze, finally Ramadhan brings clear sky. I hope it will last until Syawal.

This was taken last week, at Rubber Plantation.

Munia - Pipit Pinang dan Sarang

This is my first time seeing Munia nest. It has side entry well hidden in the Jambu tree (Syzygium sp.). The empty nest was found when I chopped down the Jambu tree in my backyard. In this picture, I just reposition it at the Mangosteen tree for photography.
"The nest is an untidy globe made out of grass and bamboo leaves, with a side entrance. It is lined with soft fluffy seeds or feathers. The nest are not woven and material is simply pushed together. But the nests are well-made, robust and waterproof". (Ref: www.naturia.per.sg- Here)

Bee-eater - Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

Ramadhan is a FASTING month. Do not make Ramadhan as food festival.

Blue-throated Bee-eater (Merops viridis)

Mad Bird - Murai Gila - SkyWatch Friday

This bird is really "Gila" (mad/crazy), never stay still - hyperactive, jumping around, jerking, gyrating, turning and fanning to show off its tail. Very difficult to photograph.

Pied Fantail (Rhipidura javanica), Local name: Murai Gila

Buff-Necked Woodpecker

This my second encounter with this species (my first was at Kuala Tahan National Park). This male woodpecker looking for his breakfast at TopRank Camping site near Raub. Very poor lighting, overcast morning under thick forest canopy, so very poor pic just for my record.

Dog - Water Wednesday

This is not my dog. I found this dog crossing the Sempam River during my birding trip.
