Turf City, Seletar East 06Dec20

From KH

It's back to Turf City to try for cheeky starling, but it wasn't there.

There was a fruiting tree that attracted other birds though, such this Daurian Starling and this Straw-headed Bulbul.


And this Black-naped Oriole and this Coppersmith Barbet.


Why did the chicken cross the road with her brood?

Beware of this Ropalidia sumatrae nest!


How did this juvenile Oriental Honey-Buzzard miss it!


Blue-tailed Bee-eater looked on, while Coppersmith Barbet entered its nest.


Here're a couple of Buffy Fish-Owls.
