The local called it "cemetery bird" as this bird frequented open shade at the cemetery. A common resident in Malaysia. They don't build any nest. They lay the eggs on the ground. When disturbed, they pushed their eggs to different location, sometime as far as 20 m away.

Birds are a joy to watch. Life on earth will be empty without the melodies of birds. They entertain us, they trill us, they provide an added color to our world and most of all, they are the indicator of our environment.
Here, I will showcase all the birds that I had photographed. They were photographed through my almost 20 years of birding.
Enjoy!
Take care,
Forest Ang
