Yep, it’ll happen sooner or later. Does walking
around with a pair of binoculars hanging from my neck seem normal? What would
you do if you saw a stranger peering with “bins” at your window, roof top,
porch and fence.
Nothing? YES, at least you are on the
same page as me. After all it is Day 10 of the Movement Control Order in Malaysia and people
have done crazier stuff, like riding totally naked around town (viral on whats
app). I mean Lady Godiva did the same on a horse but her lovely long tresses
tumbled onto appropriate parts of her anatomy.
I assure you if you had not seen the
video, this gentleman was stark naked on his motorbike! This blog is rated G, thus video of gentleman cannot be uploaded!!
Sassy JAM (that’s what I call myself,
JAM’s my initials).. get back to your story please and stop babbling like a
babble. So at 7am I am out of the house with my “bins” (that’s what we serious
birdwatchers call our binoculars). I can hear bird calls by 6.45 am when they
summon me. They are tricky little buggers cos’ they hide in the tree foliage.
You can hear ‘em, but you got to find them. And they do a darn good job of
playing hide and seek.
So the trick is, stand at one spot motionless and scan
the trees where the music is, watch for the flutter of leaves and BINGO…you
might just catch a babbler, sunbird, spiderhunter, woodpecker, bulbul, oriole
or kingfisher
