I witnessed the failed attempts of a couple of Javan Mynas trying to save their chick from a certain death. Alas, the chick got to live another day when the crow got startled by some humans and the chick fell to the ground, into the safety of a humans hand. Should we intervene in the cycle of life or should we accept that 'life is cruel' and allow the chick to end up as the crow's dinner?

louisecbfDescription
The plant on the back of this little book is Morning glory, which has rapidly colonised on the site of a landslide (which occurred a couple of years ago on our regular walk route, due to heavy monsoon rain). The council rebuilt the slope and road and it’s very interesting to see what has re-adopted this patch of land and sky as its habitat. Can regularly see changeable hawk eagles perched up in the trees behind the slopes where the morning glory grows. On a clear day we can see the buildings on top of Genting Highlands from this viewpoint. Feel very glad to be in such a green area of KL city.
