After taking a break from birdwatching for over a month, I'm decided to restart their activities at Lake SDGs at IPB Darmaga Campus. Despite the cool weather, the activity began at 5:40 a.m. and were excited to try out my Canon EOS 1100 D camera, which had been unused for the same period. The camera still performed well, reinvigorating my passion for nature photography. During the observation, I was pleasantly surprised to spot an eagle, which is Accipiter soloensis, which is typically active in hot weather, but at that morning, it chasing its prey in the cool morning. This provided a new understanding of eagle behavior and added to the excitement of the birdwatching experience. Meanwhile i can still recognize some bird's identification with visual and from their vocal.

In the crisp morning hours of the new year, I embarked on another exhilarating birding adventure, eager to explore the avian wonders that awaited. Having recently encountered the rare Accipiter soloensis during my last outing, I set out with a renewed sense of curiosity, determined to uncover more hidden treasures. Commencing at 5:50 am amidst the picturesque corn fields adjacent to the equestrian park SKHB IPB, my companions (@tikaindry @bi_alfani ) and I were initially captivated by the vibrant Psittacula alexandri, gracefully feasting on the scattered corn. Our quest continued to the nearby SDGs Lake IPB, where the landscape unfolded with diverse birdlife. The crowning moment came as we spotted the elusive Lanius tigrinus, marking a thrilling first-time encounter with this enchanting species. The sun had barely reached its zenith by the time our exploration concluded at 8:00 am.
