Dairy Farm, Hindhede 07Mar26

From KH

Danny and I started the day's birding at Dairy Farm Nature Park. Often heard only, so it's nice to see a pair of Straw-headed Bulbuls here.


Nice to see a Sunda Colugo too.


Even nicer to see my first Spiny Orb-weaver Spider (Gasteracantha diadesmia).


Next, Hindhede Nature Park. Oriental Darter preening in the quarry.


Not one, but two Sunda Colugos.

Danny and I went to Hindhede Nature Park today. A visit that will not be complete without seeing any Sunda Colugo, and we saw 4!


Immature Greater Racket-tailed Drongo put on quite a show for us.

Danny, JS and I went to Hindhede Nature Park today. Nice to see a Collared Scops-Owl devouring a Double-spotted Gecko.


Time for health check, i.e. scale Bukit Timah Hill. Nice to get a male Asian Fairy-Bluebird.

Danny, JS and I started off at Hindhede Nature Park. Nothing much here.

We then scaled Bukit Timah Hill, again nothing much. So zero shutter count for me, just one of those days..

Hindhede, Dairy Farm 29Jul23

From KH

Danny, JS and I started the day's birding at Hindhede Nature Park. Bird-wise, just a few residents, so shoot some other animals instead, such as the regular Colugo.

Here's a male Common Archduke.


At Dairy Farm Nature Park, this Long-tailed Macaque was having its favourite snack, potato chips, but wait this doesn't taste like potato chips, said the monkey.
