MUNIAS- all for one, one for all

Near the Goat shed was a small stream with beautiful clear water flowing down from the hill. A flock of Munias were cooling themselves near the water’s edge. They were Scaly-Breasted Munias and White-Rumped Munias The Black-Headed Munias which I normally observed hanging out with this bunch were absent. I haven’t had much success in getting good photos of Munias but this time round the Munias were not on edge probably because of the water. In the searing heat, I managed to get close enough for some decent shots.

	Looking out for any signs of danger. It’s OK, just a wierd looking character holding a wierd looking light-emitting contraption!
	Care to join me for a dip?

Queue up please! Nice cool drink.

Hey, I caught something.

One Malaysia! Learning from the birds.
