Image Details:

When I was photographing the moon with a palm branch as the foreground, suddenly a Kutilang bird (Sooty headed Bulbul) came and landed for a few minutes on that branch.
The sunrise from the opposite direction made every details look beautiful from where I stood.

Kutilang birds are still easily found in some areas in Indonesia, especially in Java.

The sooty-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus aurigaster) is a species of songbird in the Bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in south-eastern Asia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
