Birding at Chinese Garden

With summer at northern hemisphere slowly slipping away, which means we should be expecting the return of the migratory birds back in Singapore soon. Is time to be out in the field to look out for them. I usually go to Singapore Botanic Garden (SBG) to look for the sign of their arrival, but I go to Chinese Garden this time instead.

The 1st bird that welcome me is this female Pink Necked Green Pigeon.

Hiding behind the bush is the male with the distinctive pink neck. Is the male more shy than female?

Carpenter bee is busy collecting pollen from flower to flower.

Spot this female Olive Backed Sunbird preening with the cover of thick foliage.

I guess landing on the top of the tree need some practice?

Compare to Grey Heron, I find Purple Heron more attractive and elegance.

These 2 are Pacific Swallow and not the migratory Barn Swallow.

This pair of Collared Kingfisher keep showing me their back. Each time I move to the front, they will turn their back on me. What a shy bird... haha

Like many of us, we just don't feel comfortable with others watching while having our meal. So as this pair of kingfisher.

This Grey Heron stay as still as a statue waiting for the fish to swim nearer to her direction.

This Changeable lizard is feeding on the ants on the tree trunk.

What a cute Plantain Squirrel feeding on the grass.

Still no sign of any migratory birds yet, they should start to come in in the following week or so. I will try another park next week hope to see my favorite Asian Paradise Flycatcher again.
