Sedim is many... but now less ..

My natural habitat is not lowland forests, so I am a vagrant in forested areas, that's why I rarely see this reasonably common species..... My primary habitat is gardens and parks, occasionally inland wetlands and is near endemic to Central Perak region, now occurring as an off-shot vagrant to Taiwan for this season, hahaha.......

A group appeared here in July at the paddy field. Now no more paddy so don't know where they go. Very skittish and hard to get close.
