Green Iora

 Passeriformes - Aegithinidae -  Aegithina viridissima (Kunyit-Kecil Hijau)

A medium-sized canopy-dweller of lowland and foothill forests, often seen with mixed flocks. Male is dark olive-green with boldly black-and-white-striped wings; female is paler, with an olive back and a less contrasting wing pattern. Look for bright yellow “goggles” around dark eyes in both sexes; Common Iora lacks these goggles and has pale eyes, but these can be hard to discern. Song is high, simple, and repetitive: “wit-dee, wit-dee, wit-dee” or “chew-a-wee-chew, chew-a-wee.” Calls vary, but the most common ones are downslurred and rather nasal-sounding.

On seeing and being seen, who's the catcher, who's the captive?

Beyond

Tending to

What holds, what imprisons - what's strangling.

What refuses to let go

When the scale is tipped

There's no balance when goings are extremes

Always a battle between extremes

Hold precious when calm settles.

Moving in

Moving in
by faith,
by the senses,
It works.
