Hoary Bellied Squirrel???

   Beberapa hari lepas ambo ronda-ronda sekitar kampung Indalupi Pulau Banggi. Niat di hati nak memburung tapi hasilnya tdk berapa memuaskan..intai-intai burung tapi ternampak seekor tupai..tupai pn tupailah janji ada hasil outing. Bak kata org "tak dapat rotan akar pn jadi". 

   Rasanya ini tupai jantan yang masih muda (agak2 je)..ambo dah cuba-cuba cari dalam internet nama spesifik bagi tupai ni tapi belum jumpa nama yang tepat..nampaknya perlu rujuk mereka yang pakar..Adakah ini Hoary Bellied Squirrel???

Birding l Kedidi Pasir@ Common sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos)

Kedidi Pasir@ Common sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos)...The adult is 18–20 cm long with a 32–35 cm wingspan. It has greyish-brown upperparts, white underparts, short dark-yellowish legs and feet, and a bill with a pale base and dark tip. In winter plumage, they are duller and have more conspicuous barring on the wings, though this is still only visible at close range. Juveniles are more heavily barred above and have buff edges to the wing feathers.
This species is very similar to the slightly larger Spotted Sandpiper (A. macularia) in non-breeding plumage. But its darker legs and feet and the crisper wing pattern (visible in flight) tend to give it away, and of course they are only rarely found in the same location.-rujukan

Birding l Scaly Breasted Munia

The Scaly-breasted Munia or Spotted Munia (Lonchura punctulata) known in the pet trade as Nutmeg Mannikin or Spice Finch is a sparrow-sized estrildid finch native to tropical Asia extending from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. It has been introduced into many other parts of the world and has established in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as well as parts of Australia and the United States of America. They are found in open habitats including gardens and agricultural fields where they forage in groups for grass seeds.

The Scaly-breasted Munia is 11–12 cm long. The adult has a stubby dark bill, brown upperparts and darker brown head. The underparts are white with black scale markings. The sexes are similar, although males have darker markings on the underside and a darker throat. Immature birds have pale brown upperparts, lack the darker head and with uniform buff underparts can be confused with immatures of other munias such as the Tricoloured Munia.-rujukan
