Streaked Spiderhunter

 Passeriformes - Nectariniidae - Arachnothera magna (Burung Kelicap Jantung Gunung)

A large and noisy inhabitant of tropical and subtropical hill forests. Distinctive in its range; a large spiderhunter with a long, curved black bill and black streaking all over its yellow-green upperparts and lighter yellow underparts. Gleans invertebrates from foliage, but also hovers around and probes into flowers for nectar. Often moves with mixed flocks. Calls frequently, giving a loud, decisive-sounding “chitick, chitick!”.

Who look back, who move back, who stay back - yet time turns not back?

Red-eyed Bulbul

 Passriformes - Pycnonotidae - Pycnonotus brunneus (Merbah Mata Merah)

Nondescript plain brown bulbul with dull red eyes. Buffy brown vent distinguishes it from similar red-eyed form of Cream-vented Bulbul. Has neither the olive wing patches of Olive-winged Bulbul nor the streaked ear coverts of Streak-eared Bulbul. Red eye is not surrounded by the orangish eyering of Spectacled Bulbul. Forages primarily in the middle and upper levels of forest, often with other species in mixed flocks. Song is a relatively monotonous series of upslurred whistles.

What we ignore is still existent, still fact - does it affect, that's the matter.

Purple-naped Spiderhunter

 Passeriformes - Nectariinidae - Kurochkinegramma hypogrammicum (Kelicap Rimba)

Dark and mostly drab sunbirdlike inhabitant of tropical forests, plantations, and gardens. Iridescent purple nape and rump are diagnostic, but can easily be missed in the gloom of dense forest. Olive-green upperparts and streaked belly, along with a dark, slightly curved bill, are sufficient to distinguish this species from other spiderhunters and sunbirds in its range. Like many other spiderhunters, calls loudly, harshly, and persistently as it forages.

If your abundance is not my abundance, will all be well?

Spectacled Spiderhunter

 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.

Yellow-eared Spiderhunter

Passeriformes - Nectariniidae - Arachnothera chrysogenys (Kelicap Jantung Telinga Kuning)

Large spiderhunter with yellow eyerings and a similarly-colored tuft on the cheek. Bill is bicolored: pinkish at the base and darker towards the tip. Faint streaking on the throat, slightly longer and more slender bill, larger yellow ear tuft, and slightly narrower eyerings help distinguish it from similar Spectacled Spiderhunter. Forages in upper levels of lowland, foothill, and montane forests. Gives rather dry papery chittering.

No spot, no hunt is new where foraging is concerned.
