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 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.

I went with Danny to Singapore Quarry on the last day of 2022.

Colugo just needed a good sleep.

Wild Pig not looking very happy: grr, grrrr, GRRRR!

Osprey put up a good show, going a few rounds.

Square-tailed Drongo-Cuckoo put up an even better show, catching and eating mostly fluffy Sarbena moth caterpillars, and also some other caterpillars.

Close-up on Sarbena and its host plant Sea Almond. What're all those brown spots on the leaves? Fungi?

These dark-thoraxed Ornate Coraltails mating. More damselflies to come in 2023.

A Starry Bob to end off a great 2022.

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.

Female Common Archduke.
