Taking it easy over the long weekend
Today I’m going to take another shot at finding the Barred Eagle Owl along Jalan Asas leading up to Singapore Quarry. I arrived as early as I possibly could before 7AM to scan the area but did not see or hear anything of interest.
At the quarry, the resident pair of Gray-headed Fish Eagles were perched monitoring the water for prey. Unfortunately, there was no diving action that morning.
The Stork-billed Kingfisher is another commonly seen resident at the quarry that will dive for fish. But again, no action today.
Here’s an Olive-winged Bulbul singing it’s heart out before the rain came. Thankfully there’s a shelter at the quarry which allowed me to wait out the rain.
On the way out, this humble Eurasian Tree Sparrow showed me it was capable of catching a grasshopper for lunch.
