The Pygmy Elephants are more open today this morning.

Next up, an Estuarine Crocodile.

Then, a Water Monitor.

All the egrets we photographed turned out to be Great Egrets.

Long-tailed Parakeets and a Dollarbird on the bare trees.

This male Bornean Orangutan is so shy. First, he turned his back on us. Then, he covered his face with his palm...

A Crested Serpent-eagle flying away.

Noisy Bushy-crested Hornbills.

Oriental Darters are common here. Adult left, juvenile right.

So are Black-and-red Broadbills and White-chested Babblers.

Blue-eared Kingfishers were also common here, but the Bornean Brown Barbet was less common.

Malaysian Blue-flycatcher couple: male left, female with nesting material right.

A Plantain Squirrel joined in the fun.

Lastly, our only lifer for today - a pair of White-fronted Falconets: male left, female right.
