Petai Trail, Thomson Nature Park 05Mar22

From KH

It's back to Petai Trail with Danny, but still no pale-legged. Got Lesser Mousedeer!

Saw this Southeast Asian Softshell Turtle at the same spot again.

Male Crimson Sunbird caught an insect? spider?

Definitely not this Malayan Five Ring or this Telephone Sylvan.

Nor this handsome fungus beetle larva or this male Two-striped Telamonia.

Heard there was an Oriental Scops-Owl at Thomson Nature Park, so that was where we went next.

The mulberry fruits were attracting frugivores, such as this Olive-winged Bulbul and this female Orange-bellied Flowerpecker.

Mulberry is a term used for various species of trees which do not even belong to the same family. This one is Pipturus argenteus, sometimes called White Mulberry, confusing with Morus alba. It is sometimes called Australian Mulberry, confusing with Hedycarya angustifolia. I love the name False Stinger, as it's unique and the species doesn't sting despite being in the Nettle family (Family Urticaceae).
