Common Iora Nesting

I found this Common Iora nesting on Rambutan tree (Nephelium lappaceum), near my house (about 3 meters from my back door). The last time that I saw this species nest was in July 2008. At that time it was already in advance stage where this juveniles were about to fledge.

The weather was very hot (about 30°C), so this mother bird opened its mouth and panting to cool off.
