Started out early at 2pm+, rewarded with 2 lifers.
A sunbird taking a break from the hot afternoon sun was heard calling from the bush and a woodpecker chanced upon after failing to nail the Raffles Malkoha on the tree next to where it was spotted.
Seems like Hornbill, Malkoha, Woodpecker, Drongo are in season due to the many sightings around this time of the year.

Even the Mynas seems to follow a regular path .... fly to this tree, go into the hole on the tree trunk, then the old palm ... observed on 2 consecutive weekends. It reflects on myself.

The sunbird looks stunning! In Hong Kong we often see Fork-tailed Sunbird but they are not as bright coloured as this one.
