Is been my tradition to walk in Singapore Botanical Garden on the first day of the year. 2020 is no exception and indeed it never fail to delight me.
A national butterfly of Singapore - Common Rose to start my walk.
Follow by another equally red dragonfly.
Ever since the garden improvement work, the usual spot for Common Kingfisher has shifted too. I no longer be able to spot this small beauty at Symphony Lake. Luckily I managed to spot her again in another pond.
A mixture flock of sub-adult of Asian Glossy Starling.
This Spotted dove just know how to pose for me to photograph her.
A usual and very common bird in the garden - White Breasted Water Hen.
Is good to see this "red velvet" - up close - Crimson Sunbird
Javan myna
A male Red Jungle fowl
One of the very easy bird to spot in the garden must be this bird with very bright yellow colour - Black naped oriole
This Lineated Barbet camouflage quite well among the foliage. It took me some time to pin point it's location by follow the the very unique call.
A curious Plantain squirrel check me out.
I have been hearing large flock of Asian Openbill Storks is in Singapore since Christmas eve. Is very rare to find Openbill over at this part of the world but is becoming yearly affair whenever drought happened in Thailand and forced them to fly thousands kilometer away to look for food. Still, this large number visit tiny Singapore is unprecedented. Due to other commitments, I have not have time to check it out yet. Well, good that they are still around!
