Feeding Spotted Dove: 21. Javan Myna aggression
5 hours ago
Made a short night trip to BTNR, here are some photos taken. Insects really do seem to be more active at night in general, there was a whole hive of activity going on, the ants were all foraging, lots of leaf litter amphipods hopping about. Even the blattodeas and orthopterans were out to feed.
