Tuas 30Nov19

From KH

Danny and I went Tuas for raptor watch before the season come to a close.

This is how a Japanese Sparrowhawk looks like when it is too high up in the sky...


We were surprised to see an adult male Pin-tailed Whydah. Someone lost a pet?


It was nice to see the Chestnut Munias doing well here. There were a good number of juveniles, as well as adults.
