Painted Stork

 Ciconiformes - Ciconiidae - Mycteria leucocephala (Upih Sawah)

A large stork with a long yellow bill that curves down at the tip, like that of an Ibis. Adult is primarily white with black striped markings on the wings and bright pink on tertials. Also note the bright orange face, pinkish legs, and speckled band across the chest. Immatures are duller, with a brown wash, and lack the chest band. These storks typically fly with their head and neck drooping almost at or below the belly level. Often seen near water bodies such as wetlands, marshes, and flooded agricultural fields. Breeds in crowded colonies, often with other waterbirds.

What is essential of life, neglected, taken lightly, yet cannot be ignored.

Olive-backed Woodpecker

 Piciformes - Picidae - Gecinulus rafflesii (Belatuk-Pinang Rimba)

Medium-sized crested woodpecker with an olive-brown body and a black-and-white-striped head and neck; quite dull and dark for a flameback. Crest is bright red in males and black in females. Inhabits lowland and hill forests, where it forages both at middle levels and close to the ground, both singly and in pairs. Generally fairly uncommon and local. Gives cacophonous descending calls, often with a rasping quality.

Great Myna

 Passeriformes - Sturnidae - Acridotheres grandis (Tiong Jambul)

A black myna with a spiffy crest. Not actually significantly larger than other dark crested mynas, but the combination of the bright yellow bill, prominent spiky crest, and white vent serve to distinguish it from other similar mynas. Forages in flocks in open areas such as meadows, agricultural fields, and urban parks and gardens, often with other species of mynas and starlings.

A moment too far away, too high off, like a dream.

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?

Black-thighed Falconet

 Falconiformes - Falconidae - Microhierax fringillarius (Rajawali-Belalang Melayu)

Dwarfed by shrikes and thrushes, this tiny raptor looks almost parakeet-like as it perches on exposed branches. Coloration distinctive: birds are black above with a white chest and rusty orange belly. Black forehead “earmuffs” are unique among the region’s raptors. Inhabits lowland and foothill forests, where it is generally fairly uncommon. Rather social for a raptor, often seen preening and feeding together in small flocks.

Rufescent Prinia

Passeriformes - Cisticolidae - Prinia rufescens (Perejak Sampah)

Small prinia with gray head, warm brown upperparts, and white underparts. Also shows white eyebrow and graduated tail with pale tips to the outer tail feathers. Note warmer brown tones and lack of strongly “vested” appearance when compared with Gray-breasted Prinia. Favors brushy or grassy edges as well as more open areas, including agricultural fields and gardens. Forages low in the vegetation, sometimes in mixed-species groups. Song is a loud, resonating “chewchewchewchewchew.”
