Bukit Timah Nature Reserve 29Mar25

From KH

Danny and I went to Bukit Timah Summit today. Male Blue-and-white Flycatcher that was seen here since 24 Mar 2025 was still around.

A huge kettle of Black Bazas was then seen thermalling on their way home, while an Oriental Honey-Buzzard tagged along.

Here's another OHB later.

Oriental Pied-Hornbill still sealed in since my last visit.

Buffy Fish-Owl giving me a satisfying "poo-face".

Blue-tailed and Blue-throated Bee-eaters are not friends it seems.

It seems that Asian Openbills like to hang out on the bridges after filling their tummy. Handphone shots.

At Hampstead Wetland Park, Oriental Pied-Hornbill mum was still in the nest, while dad was waiting patiently outside.

Buffy Fish-Owl totally accustomed to human visitors. :)

Time of the year where both Blue-tailed and Blue-throated Bee-eaters can be observed at the same place.
