2. Tues May 7, 2019. Bright sky.
Red-whiskered bulbuls couple seen. As I got nearer the tree, they flew off.

Bright sun rays revealed a brown lizard with very long tail on tree branch. Several minutes of lying still on this tree branch to eat the insects.
Flies, butterflies, bees around this tree. This is the Oriental Garden Lizard or Changeable Lizard (Caloptes versicolor). It changes its colour to dark brown when threatened.

Young female PNGP perched on tree top nearby
Two young pigeons hide inside the same tree as bulbuls, flying off now and then as in past few days.
