Rufous Piculet

Piciformes - Picidae - Sasia abnormis (Belatuk Kerdil/Belatuk-Kerdil Api Melayu)

Absolutely miniscule woodpecker. Tailless and round-bodied, resembling a wren or cupwing in shape. Olive above and orange below; lacks the white brow patch of White-browed Piculet. Forages in dense secondary growth from lowlands up into the foothills, often in bamboo stands. Clambers around in and flutters between low-lying vegetation, seldom high up in the canopy. Makes sharp squeaks somewhat resembling shoes rubbing on wet floors. Drums are surprisingly loud for its size.

A time alone, a time for others.




*Emptiness's function - When no show from God or man, it's a time for silence, non-action
- Patience, be watchful, be mindful -
