Birds Of The Farm - 2021
Small Green or White-cheeked Barbet (Accipiter virgatus)
The fruits on the Singapore cherry tree are a favourite for the White-cheeked Barbet.
Purple Sunbird (Cynnirus asiaticus)
There's a kind of social spider in our farm who work together to construct large messy, but effective webs. This Purple sunbird's breakfast plan was to take their heist from one web to the other all morning picking off all the bugs stuck to them.
Tickell's Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis tickelliae)
One half of a pair of Tickell's Blue that live under the foliage of a large mango tree.
The other half.
