It's a sadness to see the Olive-backed Pipits, White Wagtails and Common Tailorbirds by a stream which was polluted by rubbish and smell badly.  The Olive-backed Pipits foraged between the rubbish.

In the morning, birds roosted near the restaurant of a hotel.  Together with the sparrows, they approached the leftovers on the dishes and floor.  Didn't know the bird species.
