Perlings stay together.

Starlings are quite common here.. especially the asian glossy starling. Even at residential areas. here are an adult shot from the balcony of my house.

another kind of starling, the purple backed starling i found more in the gardens.

Perling Belakang Ungu
Purple-backed Starling
Sturnia sturnina

A yellow belly birdy

Being an active bird like the tailorbird, not always have a good result of having pic this species taken. But can always knew they were around with its meawing sound. almost like a lost kitten. Always can found near the marshes,swamps or fresh water ponds.

Actually the first time caught is an adult but the noise too bad(using prosumer camera). With my dslr caught the juvenile, almost id as a different bird. fortunately PMers (Photomalaysia.com) has been a great help
