Shooting the Tiong before sunset

Hill Myna or 'Tiong' (Malay)

 The 'Tiong' birds or Hill Myna have been seen coming back again to their favourite nesting home at Licuala Hill since about a week ago. Habitually, once they start making nest at the old dead tree they will be seen regularly from now onwards especially towards the end of each day to return to their nest after a long day's outing over the land looking for food.  Their daily return before sunset afford me opportunities to study their behaviour.  Adjacent to their nest is another tall tree that they used as a convenient perch to rest temporarily before settling for the night at their nest.  They will normally call it a day past sunset time.

 It has been a while that the Tiong birds have not checked in at their favourite nesting tree.  Today, however, I found them back at the tree and checking out their home which is a hole in the tall dead tree at Licuala Hill.  Over many years now this tree has become the favourite spot for nesting by the Hill Myna birds at the park.   At late afternoon, I saw the pair of Tiongs perching and at the same time grooming each other.  They were not alerted to my presence because I was staying put in my hideout earlier than their arrival at the tree.  This gave me lots of opportunity to study their behaviour and took lots of pictures for record purposes.

An uindentified leafbird?

 Last June when the Eugenia oleina trees were fruiting, many birds that were never seen before at the park appeared for the first time.  The three lifers were the Red-crowned Barbet, Blue-eared Barbet and the Brown Barbet.  There was however another bird that remain unidentified and today I have  time to re-look at the pictures I took on the 22nd of June.  My best guess at the moment is that the bird is a leaf bird. But on this third largest island of the world i.e. Borneo, there are many species of leaf birds and upon checking the internet sources for images close to the ones I took, there seem to be none that is the same.  So for record purposes, I'll leave it to time to tell and probably some readers or birders can suggest a name that is true to the pictures. Or could it be that I have found a lost species? (LOL)
