White-bellied Fantail

A small but conspicuous noisy species found in a variety of open and disturbed habitats that contain palms; often found in small flocks high in palm trees. Its appearance is unique within its range; note its dark brown upperparts combined with heavily streaked white underparts, a pale thickset bill, and a brilliant red eye. Vocalizations include a wide variety of buzzy, squeaky, and whistled notes.

This scarce small woodpecker is golden-olive above and barred below. The male has a red crown, a red mustache stripe, and a yellow stripe below the eye. Females are similar but only have red on the nape. Occurs singly or in pairs, usually in the lower to middle levels of foothill forest and edge. Compare with Rufous-winged Woodpecker, which lacks the yellow stripe on the face.

Small exotic-looking duck found at lakes and parks, usually with nearby trees. Male very ornate with big orangey "sail fins" on the back, streaked orangey cheeks, and a small red bill with a whitish tip. Female has narrow white spectacles on shaggy gray head, bold pale dappled spots along flanks, and pale bill tip. Mainly found in pairs or singly, but will gather in larger flocks over the winter; perches readily in trees over water. Native to East Asia, but has established feral populations throughout Western Europe.
