Birding , Bird and Nature Photography have been a lonely one man show for me most of the time for the past one year. I tracked the quiet unpaved laterite road like this Rubber Plantation access road looking for birds and any interesting subject to shoot.
Rubber tree
Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis).
the sap/latex is collected in the small container (plastic bag in this pics) . Coagulated latex is collected the next day ,sell to rubber dealer which then sell it to a rubber factory for end product manufacturing such as glove, tyre ,condom, etc
Yellow-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goaivier) and Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina)
Benjamin's Fig or Weeping Fig (Malay: Pohon Beringin) can grow very tall (up to 100ft). The drooping branches made a good shade. Planted on the road side and for landscaping.
In old days Malay often associated this big tree with ghosts. If you walk alone underneath it dark shade at night, you never know when the 'ghost' or snatch thief will spring up.
The small ( 0.7-1.5 cm) red-orange coloured fruit are a favorite food of many bird species, like this Bulbul.
