From KH
Evening walk at Lower Seletar Reservoir Park, not expecting much.
Lo and behold, saw a murder of House Crows attacking a lone Javan Myna! Not sure how the myna got into hot soup, I mean water, but the crows were trying to make a meal of it for sure. Lucky for the myna, the dredge scooped it up, so it lived to see another day.

Hampstead Wetland 08-10Jul26
From KH
I paid a visit to the nesting Buffy Fish-Owls at Hampstead Wetland. Based on others posts, there was already a chick in the nest.
That explains why the female was always in the nest, at least in the mornings that I was there.
She was nesting on a dead Bird's Nest Fern in a Saga Tree.
Meanwhile, the male was usually resting in an opposite tree. Here's him reflecting on life on 9 Jul.
Juvenile Oriental Honey-Buzzard came visting on 8 Jul.

Another morning walk at Seletar Park Connector.
Collared Kingfisher usually take off on approach, but it decided to stay briefly today.
Asian Openbill looking up into the sky, don't even want to look at me.
Pin-striped Tit-Babbler looked at me like what you want from me.
Yellow-bellied Prinia, usually heard only, decided to gimme a partial view today.

Sadly, Lesser Banded Hornet nest was cleared, but a few of the them still lingered.
