May 21 2011 - Singapore!
Rather few birds during a busy work week with occasional java mynas along orchard road and a Indian House Crow flight at dusk (usually outside the office where we were still working.
Today I walked the other way up Orchard and found the Botanic Gardens.
Here an approx full list with sone notes
House crow
Java myna, everywhere
Common myna, few
Asian glossy starling
Little heron, one on dawn lake
Spotted dove, common, Inc one darker displaying male
Black-naked oriole
Pacific. Swallow
Black-nest swiftlet
blue-crowned hoping parrot
Stork-billed kingfisher
Asian glossy starling
Pink-necked green pigeon
Crimson Sunbird
Olive- backed sunbird
White crested laughing- thrush
White breasted kingfisher.
Collared kingfisher
Long-tailed parakeet
Rose-ringed parakeet
Lesser whistling duck
Wandering whistling duck - maybe a hybrid with that much rufous on tail coverts
Later at the 'Marina' a Brahimy Kite was a nice additional and a black-napped oriole along the promenade a surprise.
Each night walking back from the office there has been cord call I'm some of the trees - depending on the time. This evening it became clear that many hundreds and probably thousands of (presumably java) mynas were coming in to roost. I could still hear them 15 stories below me when I got back to my room
