Backyard Birdwatching

I was told that there are at least 7 species of birds around our garden : Oriental Magpie Robin, Peaceful Dove, Spotted Dove, Asian Glossy Starling, House-Swift, Eurasian Tree-Sparrow, Yellow-vented Bulbul, Sunda Pygmy Woodpecker, White-breasted Woodswallow, White-breasted Waterhen, Black-headed Munia, Dusky Munia, Pacific Swallow, Olive-backed Sunbird, and Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker. Wait a minute ... that's 14! Not including the occasional Common Sandpiper that comes around now and again.

Some of the little birdies in our garden:









We have a few flowering plants in the garden, the main attraction however seems to be a flowering parasitic creeper ... for the few sunbirds at least.
