As usual here is a list of the species seen, and for the more interesting ones the place where I saw it. A proper eBird trip list is here. In summary I had a great time and came back totally shattered, always the sign of a good trip. Despite all the greenery, finding birds in Singapore can actually be quite hard, and photography can be even harder, especially in the forests. But I tried! I came away pretty pleased with the birds I'd seen, but slightly disappointed I hadn't managed to break 100 species which I always thing of as the bare minimum for a weekend away, especially a long weekend. I also discovered that my days of lugging around a heavy DSLR were numbered, and if you have been following this blog you will know that I did indeed get rid of it all and switch to mirrorless a couple of months ago. I am itching to get back with this new lighter setup, but there are plenty of other places I want to visit as well so let's see what pans out.
Great read as always intrepid Birder. Merry Christmas and all that. Hope the fine wines have been carefully selected!
ReplyDeleteSingapore is about as unintrepid as it comes!
