A morning walk in the jungle

[kuching]

I'm back to jungle again....and alone. This time I met a beautiful bird called Malkoha & also an almost dead flying gecko. It was just a normal survey trip to find the route to a small mountain near my home.

I was so lucky to meet this beautiful bird called "Rufous-bellied Malkoha" (Phaenicophaeus sumatranus) in the Kerangas forest. It is sun-bathing on a sandy trail:

A flying gecko (Ptychozoon horsfieldii). Note: flying gecko can not fly but it can glide from one tree to another nearby tree.

The flying gecko is almost dead, probably attacked by the skink (below it):
