Botanic Gardens 21Mar26

From KH

Rainforest Trail at Singapore Botanic Gardens was open again after they cleared to fallen tree. Danny and I revisited the Fairy Pitta that we saw on 14 Feb. Now it was much more confiding, coming close to the boardwalk.


Crested Serpent-Eagle jiak zua (eating snake)? Go go go! By the time we saw it, breakfast was over.


Then, Danny spotted a male Pink-necked Green-Pigeon feeding a juvenile "milk".


Collared Scops-Owl couple snoozing at their usual roost.




At the visitor centre, a ringed Javan Myna was trying to feed its chick fruity breakfast, but was rejected! Didn't realize it was ringed until I reviewed the photos, but doesn't look like the usual ones used for bird ringing.


Also at the visitor centre, a female Ornate Sunbird was still building her nest.


Yellow-vented Bulbul, on the other hand, had fledged and looked at me like kua si mi (see what)!?


Good to know Grey-rumped Treeswifts can still be found here.
