Rifle Range, Dairy Farm 19May18

From KH

Con was at Jelutong Tower, when Danny, JS, BJ and I went looking for the Great Slaty Woodpecker, which wasn't around today.

We did have a couple of nice forest birds coming to check us out though, such as this lovely male Asian Fairy-bluebird and this inquisitive adult Little Spiderhunter.


In the stream were small fishes, like these Saddle Barbs, while in the trees above the stream were a pair of mating Sumatran Gems.

After Jelutong Tower, we went to Dairy Farm Nature Park.

This female Asian Emerald-dove was going about not taking much notice of me.


While this adult Asian Glossy Starling was feasting on the fruits of the False Curry Leaf Tree.


Overhead, a pale juvenile Changeable Hawk-eagle was thermaling.


While this Greater Racket-tailed Drongo enjoyed watching people going by from its perch.


This Common Sun Skink caught a huge cricket!


Nisitus vittatus is a common grasshopper in Singapore.


No prize for guessing why this Autumn Leaf is so named.
