Long-tailed Shrike

It has black facial fur extending from beak to sides of the head. The legs are thin and long, out of proportion compared to its rather large body. The under part of the body is white and yellow colour.

This bird is quite often seen in the Friendship Park, but is not a common bird in the Park.

Deep Pink Bougainvillea

Even Bougainvillea plant is happy to see the clear world by displaying numerous deep pink leaves and tiny white flowers.


NICE SKY!  NICE SUN! NICE AIR!

After depriving of the world by some dumb people, every thing seems to be NICE after seeing them again, like seeing lost old friends!
I felt imprisoned for the last two months (luckily I was travelling in Europe for 3 weeks) for not being able to breath freely in the open.





Three Colour Leaves Plant

The plant has outgrown other flowering plants in my garden and occupy a lot of space. Nevertheless, this plant is still the most outstanding plant despite not having flowers.

Clear Sky and Butterflies

The haze just disappeared three days ago and rain started to fall in Kuching.  It was due to the wind turning east. So the Kalimantan Smoke is now blown away from Sarawak to other places. Sarawak people are happy to  breathe in fresh air again. It is a great relief but I feel sorry for other people. 
What to do, an Indonesia high Officer said we should thank them for having ten months fresh air. Well, now you know why such country finds difficulty to progress. Hopefully the wind does not change back the direction again.
Ha, start to see butterflies flying round. They are happy to fly round with clear view and bright sunlight. Fruiting season which produces a lot of flowers, is already due. 
But they moved so fast that I could only have a glance of some of them.


Green Dragonfly

This dragonfly is beautiful but I cannot understand why it needs such a long and thin abdomen. There are four segments at the abdomen, isn't two sufficed? Imagine what will happen if we have a helicopter with such a long tail? Any advantage?

Light Yellow Emigrant Butterfly

If you do not look carefully, you would think that it is just a light yellow leaf. 
It looks like Lemon Emigrant butterfly, except that it is light yellow and appears to have a lot worm-like engravings.
The butterfly is strongly attracted to the red hot Ixora flowers.
