One of the best things we saw in Borneo was this Barn Swallows roost in middle of Tambunan.

A distinctive and noisy bird of Borneo’s uplands and often not too shy around people. This one from Gunung Alab.
Treepies are cool corvids…

Pretty common in scrubby spots on the two mountains we visited in Sabah, Borneo. More often heard than seen, but also not shy when hunting for food.

Amazingly, these (warbler-like) birds make a nest by folding a leaf and sewing the edges together making a cup, using natural fibres or spiderwebs…
Common in Singapore and lowland areas across much of SE Asia.

Mohawk toting beauties…
Traded cage birds in SE Asia, which was probably their route for introduction to 🇸🇬, where they are now quite common.
