From KH

So sad to witness the final moments of this Asian Openbill today. On the way in, it could still lift its head to look at me. On the way out, it was totally unresponsive. R.I.P.!

Dairy Farm, Hindhede 07Mar26

From KH

Danny and I started the day's birding at Dairy Farm Nature Park. Often heard only, so it's nice to see a pair of Straw-headed Bulbuls here.

Nice to see a Sunda Colugo too.

Even nicer to see my first Spiny Orb-weaver Spider (Gasteracantha diadesmia).

Next, Hindhede Nature Park. Oriental Darter preening in the quarry.

Not one, but two Sunda Colugos.

From KH

Usual suspects at Hampstead Wetland today.

Male Pink-necked Green-Pigeon: should I eat Singapore Rhododendrum or Sandpaper Vine?

Female Oriental Pied-Hornbill: honey, should we use this hole in the heritage Rain Tree?
