Passeriformes - Nectarinidae - Arachnothera flavigaster (Kelicap-sabit Besar)
Large spiderhunter with thick yellow eyerings, a yellow ear tuft, and a long decurved bill. Yellow eyering and cheek splotch serve to distinguish it from most other spiderhunters. Yellow-eared Spiderhunter is very similar but noticeably smaller, with a narrower eyering, faint streaking on the breast (versus plain), and a slightly longer, more slender bill. Found in lowland and foothill forests, where it forages actively in the upper levels. Calls include harsh chip notes.

How big the eyes
How harsh the call
How yet so endearing.
Lost and found
again and again
Sheer luck
for a little more gotten too.
