Bishan Park 15Mar20

From KH

I did some morning birding at Bishan Park.

First, a Cinnamon Bittern.

Then, a Yellow Bittern stalking fish.

Followed by a non-breeding pond-heron (left) and a Chinese Pond-heron assuming breeding plumage.

The adult Purple Herons were busy mending their nests or bring food to their chicks.

Some juveniles Purple Herons were still in the nest on the tree, while others had fledged.

This Asian Openbill was playing with stick?

This female Brown-throated Sunbird had food in mouth.

This Stork-billed Kingfisher had a fish in mouth too.

An exotic Magpie Mannikin to round up the birds sighted.

The most interesting non-avian creatures were these roosting Common Fruit Bats.
