Singapore Botanic Garden

After the exciting 9 days of exciting birding trip, I'm kind of having post birding blue... is time to go to Botanic Garden where my birding started.
Blue-throated beeeater
After entering the garden, this pair of Blue-throated beeeater appear right in front of me.
Collared Kingfisher
Follow the loud 'laughing' call, managed to locate this Collared Kingfisher.
Oriental Pied Hornbill
Good to see this Oriental Pied Hornbill feeding again and they re-use the same tree for nesting.
White Breasted Water Hen
Another "die die can see" bird in the garden, White Breasted Water Hen
Oriental magpie-robin
Another easy target of SBG, Oriental magpie-robin. Just need to follow their call and they are not camera shy too.
White-throated kingfisher
Unlike their cousin, this White-throated kingfisher less showy and are more secretive.
Red junglefowl
Red junglefowl was once near extinction but their number is now on the rise steadily.
White Crested Laughing Thrush
A non native bird but are becoming common lately, White Crested Laughing Thrush now can be found in many part of Singapore.
Asian glossy starling
Asian glossy starling top the chart of Singapore birds in terms of highest in numbers.
Plantain squirrel
Plantain squirrel is another animals in the garden that almost never missed. I see them on every trip here.
Brown-throated sunbird
Brown-throated sunbird
Black-naped oriole
Black-naped oriole is one of the very unique bird in the garden with the whole body in striking yellow colour.
Yellow Vented Bulbul
With this pair of Yellow Vented Bulbul, is time to go for lunch. More than 10 species birds in this tiny garden, SBG remained one of my favorite birding place.
