Wamena Trip
On July 2023, we succeed to do a birding trip to Wamena region which accidentally combined with cultural things. We met a Dani tribe man who was very friendly, to greet and shake our hands while we were taking pictures of Capped white-eye and Superb bird of paradise. We then asked him to have a picture together to keep the memories.
Jack Sparrow in Balii
All these years, I have heard stories about the abundance of Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora) in the rice fields of Java and Bali islands during harvest and post-harvest times in the past. I heard it from my own parents, villagers, educators, NGO staffs, and of course from many farmers who are generally already over 50 years old now. But I’ve never seen or witnessing it myself, until 31st August 2021.
