Lele's Birding Diary 04~

Date: 26th March 2010, Friday
Time: Morning before work
Venue: Kent Ridge Park
People involved: Lele and Zx





---oOOo---





Photographs:

Night Heron. Appearantly the Heron has been spotted at the same location a few times by Zx. He straight away walked to the location and started taking photographs. According to Zx, this species only hunt at night as the other Herons will 'bully' it. This is so as the Night Heron is often found disturbibg the nest of other Heron.

Plantain Squirrel. Hehe, Lele really really likes squirrel!! Observe the black and orange strips at the stomach of the squirrel. It was hugging the tree~

White troated kingfisher. Fufufu, this kingfisher was spotted by Lele. It was flying overhead us and landed on the branch just ahead of us. First time both of us capture the photograph of it. We mostly spotted Collared Kingfisher at Chinese Garden... This kingfisher is more colourful!!

Dragonfly Wandering Glider(?). A nice golden Dragonfly. It stayed in the same position for a very long time for Lele and Zx to take photographs. Ended up Lele got bitten by mosquito =.= Likes the shine of the gold colour ^^

Blue Troated Bee Eater. Another colourful species. It has a long tail which wasn't very obvious in this photograph. This bird looks intelligent, like a swift hunter of insect. Yy can recognise it as bee eater just by the shape of its beak o.O Very first time that Lele sees this species =D

The so called '宝树'. There's a lot of birds resting on this tree, not to memtion that there's no leaf for the birds to hide behind. In the photograph, from left: Yellow Vented Bulbul, Yellow Vented Bulbul, Blue Throated Bee Eater and another Blue Throated Bee Eater (they seen to like to gather in pairs!!)

Zx have been going to the Kent Ridge Park for birding session himself. After knowing this, Lele decide to follow him to one of the sessions. He is really very 'obsess' with it... He just walk on any path to get closer to the calling of bird. Once, he walked over mud and Lele who was following behind have mud stain on Lele's shoes. That guy still have the nerve to ask Lele : You stepped on shit?" >~<
