  1. Lovely birds; they look very alert and inquisitive with a gleam in their eyes that you captured nicely. And lucky to be feasting on rambutan fruits, one of my personal favorites.

  3. We saw a couple of poachers as Yen and I were on the way out of the jungle. They are part of a vicious circle, as long as there are buyers there will always be poachers.
