#SideProfile of Asian Brown Flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica).

#birds #eastcoastkin #rainforest #nature #wildlife
A small, pale Asian Brown Flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica) bird with a rounded body is perched on thin twigs in dense foliage. Soft light highlights its smooth feathers while dark leaves and branches form a shadowed background. The bird faces sideways, appearing calm and alert within its natural woodland setting.

A dark-feathered water bird stands on a tree branch with wings fully spread, drying its feathers. The long, slender neck and pointed bill are stretched upward. Bright green leaves fill the background, with soft daylight filtering through the forest canopy. The bird is in sharp focus, while the foliage behind it is gently blurred.

A red leaf monkey (Endemic to Borneo's Rainforests) sits on a tree branch in a tropical forest. Its long, reddish-brown fur looks soft and slightly untidy. The dark face and pale eyes are clearly visible. One arm rests on the branch while the body leans forward. The background is green and softly blurred, which keeps the monkey in clear focus.

The incredible artistry of the Dayak people in Borneo. This warrior statue (Hampatong) holds a traditional Talawang shield, protecting the entrance to the village. The colors and carvings are even more stunning in person.

No, The magic happens in the hyaline layer of their shell, which contains fluorescent chemicals. When UV light hits these chemicals, they absorb the energy and immediately release it as the bright blue light shown in this video. Hope this helps.

Bali bans the keeping of long-tailed #macaques as pets, a practice responsible for widespread cruelty & misery. This is an important new policy issued by #Bali Governor Koster & one that we hope will be introduced elsewhere in #Indonesia
