Immature Peregrine Falcon

Adult male Japanese Spaarrowhawk

Is this mixed flock of 3 Cattle Egrets and 6 Little Egrets heading home?

Asian Glossy Starling comfortably at home here in Singapore.

Paddyfield Pipit looking at me like "Watcha doing here?".

A pair of Common Flamebacks came knocking.

Introduced Golden-backed Weavers making nests - one old and one new here.

A pair of Olive-backed Sunbirds were up to something, possibly nesting somewhere close.

A skittish Ruddy-breasted Crake in the drain.

Glad to find Lesser Short-nosed Fruit-bats roosting under palm trees.

"Call me Grouchy!" said the Banded Bullfrog.
