Kranji Marsh 30Jun18
From KH
Con, Danny and I went birding at Kranji Marsh today.
First, a Yellow-bellied Prinia with a ring was busy collecting nesting material.
Then at the Tower, this Paradise Tree Snake kept us on our toes. One moment, it was on the beam, next moment elsewhere!
The tree beside the tower harboured a huge Giant Honey Bee nest!
While a Large-tailed Nightjar slumbered on.
On the way out, a Green Crested Lizard showed us how long its tail was.
Beware the Red-wattled Lapwing bomber!
While the dark morph Changeable Hawk-eagle looked on from the safely of its shaded perch.
