Wrapping up the previous six months which we spent exploring Kuala Lumpur and the West Malaysian Peninsula, planning our upcoming 4-month long trip to Borneo and relaxing in a well maintained gardenscape which we shared with a great variety of birds (several couples of oriental magpie-robins [Copsychus saularis]; a few greater coucals [Centropus sinensis] perching on clumps of bamboo; a regular white-throated kingfisher [Halcyon smyrnensis] with its loud, ringing, staccato call; a ground-haunting blue-winged pitta [Pitta moluccensis]; plenty of stripe-throated and yellow-vented bulbuls [Pycnonotus finlaysoni et goiavier] and common mynas [Acridotheres tristis]; a glossy black drongo [Dicrurus macrocercus] with its deeply forked long tail; white-bellied yuhinas [Yuhina zantholeuca]; a tiny brown-throated sunbird [Anthreptes malacensis]) - and a big black scorpion.
