Today i went to another recreational forest which was nearby my local "playground". Quite a number of common birds seen here but the photos are nothing much to shout about . This was due to the reason that much of the area was surrounded by huge tall trees which have blanketed much of its canopy from sunlight.
One of the many locations here where you could bring your family for a dip. As for me i was waiting for perhaps a forktail or kingfisher to drop-in.

| Purple-Naped Sunbird |
Looks like this fellow was also a sub-adult. Apparently research has found that the DNAs of these bird sp has some connection with spiderhunters.
 |
| Chestnut / Black Headed Munia (L. atricapilla) |
This bird was initially thought as a juvenile scaly-breasted munia but after further review of photos and getting the views from experts, this bird was actually a Chestnut / Black-Headed Munia. The funny thing was that this juvenile was all alone and it would flick its wings (like some flycatchers do) !

| Abbott or Horsfield? |
Yup it was just an Abbott's babbler.
 |
| Buff-vented Bulbul |
Red-eyed and cream-vented bulbuls were also foraging on this same tree.
 |
| Yellow-Breasted Flowerpecker |
 |
| Greater-Racket Tailed Drongo |
 |
| Checker-Throated Woodpecker |
Saw a pair and this fellow was a male. Also saw a Rufous Piculet banging its head on some bamboos nearby but no photos.
 |
| Yellow-Bellied Warbler |
 |
| Ruby-Cheeked Sunbird |
The only name i could think off for this bird was a Plain Sunbird - probably a female.
 |
| Magpie Crow |
Don't ask me why they named this butterfly as such but it was the only butterfly which was kind enough to allow me to take its photo.
