Fort Siloso 30Dec17

From KH

The tree that started the craze: Ficus superba.

The guardian of the tree: Crested Goshawk.

An adult Large Hawk-cuckoo was still around.

And then there were TWO (Asian Emerald-cuckoos)! Unbelievably, this bird not only stayed long enough for Danny and JS to tick them off today, but it brought a kaki! Con and I came today just because it's the current hot spot.

Then, a first winter male Blue-and-white Flycatcher caught JS's eyes. It also came for the tussock moth caterpillars.

The star bird at the Skywalk itself: Yellow-browed Warbler.

The introduced Chinese Hwamei was singing its heart out.

So was the introduced Indian Peacock.

The resident Brahminy Kite (top) and Large-billed Crow also came to take a look.

One of several House Swifts zoomed past (left), while the Pink-necked Green-pigeons hung out with the Asian Glossy Starlings.

There were a bunch of Asian Glossy Starlings at the Skywalk.

A few Tanimbar Corellas.

And some of the Yellow-vented Bulbuls (left) and Black-naped Orioles.
