Just like any other trip, you will not miss grey heron whenever visit to this "kampung" which means village in English. I call Bishan Park a kampung as this is one of the very few park that one can walk to the water and catch kampung fish just like the olden days in the kampung.
There are several Grey heron nest here.
Purple heron is also sharing the same tree with grey heron building their nest here.
I have seen this bird, Large Wood Shrike several time but this is the first time seeing it here in Singapore.
One of the regular migrant to Singapore - Asian Brown Flycatcher
Another bird or I should say duck that I usually see it in Thailand has also made it's appearance in Singapore! A rather uncommon Cotton Pygmy Goose.
White breasted waterhen
Yellow Bittern that usually camouflaged very well among the reed but not today. One can see it from far away.
Blue Tailed Beeeater perched high up to get a better view of any flying insects.
Brown-Throated Sunbird that looks very similar to Olive-backed sunbird except without the distinctive purple colour throat.
Asian Koel are more often heard than seen.
Another bird that more often heard than seeing it - Coppersmith barbet.
I managed to spot this Common Flameback by following the knocking sound.
Sunda pygmy woodpecker is only one third of the size of a Common flameback.
One of my favorite bird, a very bright Black-Naped Oriole.
When come to kampung, how can we not see a Murai kampung, Malay name of Oriental Magpie-robin
Yellow Vented Bulbul took the number 16 species of birds that I saw this morning. Just less than 1 hour and I have recorded more than 15 species of birds. Not bad at all.
Collared Kingfisher
Oriental Honey Buzzard
Bird of prey preying on bird. I didn't manage to get a clearer shot of this Peregrine Falcon. It looks like a myna has became her breakfast.
Talking about myna, Javan myna on a flowering tree.
I have another kampung chicken photo - a Red Junglefowl before ending my trip. What a fruitful trip.
