Fraser's Hill Silver-Eared Mesia - That's My World

I'm late for this meme, but better late than never! ;)
Click the above LOGO for more participation from all over the world.

Fraser's Hill is a well known location in Malaysia for birding. Situated only about 40km from my home town Raub, at 1280 meters above sea level. This Montana Rainforest host for some 270 species of local and migratory birds.
Fraser's Hill HotelsOut of that 270, one bird that attract my attention. You know why?, sure because of her beauty.
Silver-eared Mesia (Leiothrix argentauris)I has been to this Hill Station a few time, twice for birding, but failed to captured a decent image of this small (18cm) that very active jumping around. Last Sunday I was determined to get it.
Silver-eared Mesia (Leiothrix argentauris)It was raining by the time I arrived there at 11.15am. I went straight to Jelai Resort and wait for the rain to stop.
After the rain I was rewarded with a flock of this beautiful Mesia and other bird waves.

When I see birds like this, I think, "Oh, how beautiful," and I want to touch. I realize this is a desire to reach out to our world and all those beings who are vulnerable thanks to human endeavors. So beautiful. Thanks.
