Sengkang Riverside Park 02Aug20

From KH

This tiny Oriental House Rat first caught my attention when it ran in front of me on the pathway.

Then, out of nowhere, this Long-tailed Shrike dived at the rat but missed it! Look how small the rat is compared to the shrike!

The shrike tried looking but perhaps couldn't find the rat in the grass. It eventually flew off when a cyclist rode by. What a lucky mini rat!

After the short drama, I went around the park. This Common Iora nearly got away.

This Sunda Woodpecker didn't, but nor did it looked at me.

This Collared Kingfisher was more obliging.

Chocolate Pansy with tattered wing sipping nectar.

Are these its eggs?
