Around the bigger pond, end of the footpath, under the bushes.
Sat on the pavement and the birds were literally flying overhead, just missing me by inches. On occasions, had to duck to avoid collision.
Caught a glimpse of an Asian Paradise Flycatcher (APF).
More than a handful of yellow-vented bulbuls, olive-backed and brown-throated sunbirds, and a dark-necked tailorbird were moving about the branches and feeding on the fruits.
After about 20 minutes and several mosquito bites, I walked out from the footpath.
Hoping to have a better view of the APF, I entered the bushes again.
An olive-winged bulbul was right ahead at slightly below eye level.
A crimson sunbird appeared with his juvenile.
A female oriental magpie-robin hopped from branch to branch.
No sight of the APF, I walked out again feeling disappointed.
Just then, a white-throated kingfisher flew across the pond.
A purple heron was perched on a tree drying its feathers.
Walking around the pond when a flock of yellow-vented bulbuls flew across the pond back and forth.
Among the flock was an APF!!!
It landed on a tree with a red damselfly and finished its meal quickly. Then it moved frantically on the tree, occasionally flying across the footpath onto another tree, finally flew to higher grounds.
