Little Young Birdie

Yesterday, I was talking about empty bird nest, so today I will share about a nest with young birdie inside. It was not me the one that first encounter this bird nest with its young inside it. One of my friends found it.

As you can see, the nest was build from mosses and it is built on the leaf. Only one young inside that nest as my friend told me it was only one from the first time he found it. I was spending about half day there so I didn’t have a chance to observe this nest and find out who is the mother. If I did, I will have the answer for which species of bird is this. But, don’t worry I hope I will be able to see this bird before it fly away from this nest. So, I will get you guys update with the condition of this little friend of mine.

If I am not, then I have to leave this with a puzzle in our head……

Empty Bird Nest

So many birds around with chirps here and there. Flying over my head and perch on the tree branches. I can’t get close to them and take a very nice shot of them. Birds are difficult to handle when I want to take their pictures. Never mind. Just let it be.

I don’t want to be so mean and I don’t have story about birds which they are one of my most favorite animals. Therefore, I specially post these two photos of empty bird nest that I found on the lemon tree branches.

Which species of birds own this nest? I can’t tell you guys because I didn’t see any birds enter this nest and it was an abandon nest. Maybe it is a bulbuls nest or pipits? I am not sure too. Anyone want to guess? Without a solid answer from an ornithologist, I can’t tell the right answer for whose nest is this.

So, I leave it until here. Let it became a mystery. Till tomorrow.

Aquatic Insect

I was looking for my friend the Bornean Sucker Fish when I suddenly my attention attract by this guy. There were two different types that I saw but I only can catch this guy.

Who is this actually? Science is so broad, animals and plants are so diverse. Everything that I find, I tried to find out what it is but if I don’t have any knowledge on them, I became hopeless. If I refer back to my pass experience, I have been working with one field biologist that doing research on Odonata (Dragonflies and Damselflies). We look for larvae of dragonflies and damselflies in the water source such as streams and ponds. However, this one is not like it or maybe it is dragonfly’s larvae.

Okay. I need to email this photo to my friend and will update this post when I get his feedback on this aquatic insect.

So, be patient guys. I hope I get the answer soon. See u tomorrow then.

The Fake Snake

I was get trick by this fake snake. My friends hide it near one of the dustbin at our camp site. As I walk pass by it I saw only it head and the red tongue make me think it was a real snake.

Besides it is hiding behind the dustbin. Only after I look for two times I realize it was a fake snake.

I am afraid of snake so, their trick is works on me.

My First Encounter of an Arboreal Lizard

Allow me to start my discoveries for this week with this interesting animal. It was not the first animal that I found through my walk yesterday but it was the most exciting one (That is what I thought!!). It is very difficult to find them when you walk in the forest unless you are very lucky. So, I suppose to be very lucky yesterday..ehemmm….

Okay, back to the animal. I was passed by the closed canopy trees and suddenly I saw this guy on the tree. Actually I was quite surprise of his presence there and I was a little bit shock. I didn’t see him changing his colour while I am busy taking his pictures. Is it true he will change his colour? I am not sure with this species.

This guy is fall in the family of Agamidae and genus Gonocephalus. To identify till the species level I am not confident yet but my feeling is that this one might be Gonocephalus bornensis. Why is that so? Based on the morphology description, it sounds like him. Based on the habitat, it is more like him too. It inhabits primary rainforests in the midhills. I found this guy in primary forest with elevation around 700m a.s.l. It might be him. If it is him, then he is ENDEMIC to Borneo. Don’t trust me 100% guys. I may be wrong on this identification.

Any expertise out there? Help me with this handsome guy……:D

Alright, enough here. See you tomorrow friends.

Dilemma & Confusing Again

I am in dilemma again. How will i describe it here? Hmmm....while i am in the bush again today, as i walk along the boardwalk, i am thinking about my current job and what i really want to do in my life. This thoughts came back to me after i wrote so much about my previous discoveris of animals and nature things here in my blog. What is actually i wanted to do?

One local university will carry out mini scientific expedition next week and i am wondering that the dilemma inside me will become more serious. Arghhh....i am confused again. I need help!!!
