Birthday Birding

I was recently on leave on my birthday and decided that I would go birding. I headed to USM's Bird Valley (behind the Chancellory building, next to the School of Social Sciences). Was not very successful here... only managed to take a photo of a golden orb weaver spider.

I then headed to the circular road surrounding the School of Pharmacy. Had better shots here.

Some months ago, I caught this olive-backed sunbird on our apartment balcony.
