Morning Trip to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

I was at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve this morning for a quick tour and here are some of the animals that I saw.
Immediately after the info counter, saw this Pink Neck Green Pigeon busy collecting nesting materials.

Under the Main Bridge, saw this Little Heron busy feeding in the river during low tide.
I turn back to The Mangrove Boardwalk and saw a flock of juvenile Scaly-breasted Munia. Along the boardwalk, I saw another 2 different tailorbird.

A Rufous-tail Tailorbird
and also a Ashy Tailorbird.

This Common Iora have a few different calls and I suppose it serves different purpose such as mating or distress call.

Another noisy bird will be this Collared Kingfisher.
Another kingfisher that I saw is this Stork-billed Kingfisher with a very distinctive large bill.

This Crested-Serpent Eagle very cleverly perch beside a tree trunk and this have helped the bird to camouflage with the environment.

I also saw quite a few number of Purple-throated Sunbird.

Saw this worm crawling under the boardwalk. It will turn to a big meal for birds in no time to craw out of the burrow.
For one I am higher than the squirrel! Saw this squirrel jumping around below the boardwalk.

When I turn back to the Main Bridge, the tide is even lower. The Croc is now exposed due to the low water level.

This are the sequential shots of the fish jumping out of the water. The fish will jump above the water when the are chase by predator or when they hit the shallow water during low tide.

A rather beautiful Common Bluebottle butterfly.

Managed to take a shot of this dragonfly in flight.

Although is now not the bird migratory season, yet still managed to see a lot of interesting animals. Not a bad trip.

Hand in Hand

Saw this pair of Milky Stork (Mycteria cinerea) flew pass rather interesting. It looks like they are holding each other while gliding. Just like us human walking hand-in-hand!

Nut Cracker

You might think that these photos was taken in the Bird Park isn't it? No! It was taken in one of the most frequently visited public beach. These photos was taken at Changi beach to be exact. All photos & video were taken with just my compact camera! It was not a birding trip so I did not carry my standard birding equipment.

These cute cockatoo birds are in fact introduced to Singapore through bird trade few decades ago. Some escaped and have established here in Changi. They are called Tanimbar Cockatoo (Cacatua goffini).

At times you can even see flocks of up to 30 looking for their favourite food on the ground. However, it was not these colourful flowers that they are looking for.

Their favourite food is the Sea Almond fruit/nut.
Their powerful bill can easily crack open the fruits and go for the nut inside.

The Sea Almond fruit was crack opened neatly and the birds only interested in the nut that sit right in the middle.

This clip was taken with just my compact camera and see for yourself how smart these birds are.
