The nest was unusual because it was not just made of leaves and twigs but it also had fluffy bits of cotton from the Kapok tree in the park. Amazing how innovative a little bird can be. I hope next week when I visit the park again, the nest will still be there and the mother bird safe in her lovely home. Or, perhaps I may be able to see her hatchlings. I pray for their well-being. <br />

We found out the next day that they belonged to a pair of yellow-vented bulbuls that had chosen this plant in our car porch and under our living-room window as a safe place to bring up a family and we were of course thrilled no end. I was especially looking forward to the bulbul parents showing the little ones how to fly when the time comes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So for a month we watched and were watched in turn by the suspicious and annoyed bulbul parents as we sat on the bench a distance away from the nest pointing our cameras in the direction of the nest. We recorded their feeding activities every morning with our cameras and were amazed how the little birds grew from featherless and helpless creatures to fluffy fledglings in the span of a month. We saw how the parents fed them tirelessly every day at specific times bringing and feeding the hungry mouths berries, insects, some kind of grub and sometimes they gave in to temptation and ate the food instead of feeding their kids. We were 'scolded' by one of the bulbuls when we went too near the nest while cleaning the porch. I have a recording of this bird perched on top of our gate and letting out a stream of gutteral chirps as if telling us about its displeasure and telling us to buzz off. </div>

It got as far as our front gate and then turned to fly inwards. We tried to catch it to put it back on the nest and succeeded after a few attempts and were probably watched by the anxious parents. We knew as we put the little bird back on the nest that that escape episode would jeopardize our relationship with these beautiful creatures. We knew that when it comes to the safety of children, parents are single-minded in ensuring that they are kept out of harm's way. We only prayed that the bulbul parents would trust us enough not to do anything drastic. We were wrong for the entire family of birds abandoned us that very day. It was a very sad moment to come home in the afternoon after a morning outing to see an empty nest that looked as thought it had just been completed. How the bulbul parents managed to move two fledglings that could barely fly was a puzzle we could never solve. They just disappeared! No farewell and no goodbyes. An empty nest and an emptiness in our hearts and they have only been around for a month. Adios and we say a prayer for you, lovely bulbul family and pray that you are safe somewhere. Here are the photos, not necessarily in chronological order but they will show you why we got to be so fond of them. </div>

I have never seen this particular specie of birds before and luckily I happened to have a camera close at hand. With the 30x zoom lens of my Sony HX100V, I managed to capture these individual shots. They were such restless birds, one second pecking at the grass and the next flying away to perch on a plant. Back and forth, back and forth, these birds are boundless bundles of energy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4fx6joYSuOs/Tpw47x8rJUI/AAAAAAAATZ4/KsWe5NLzQf8/s1600/DSC02004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4fx6joYSuOs/Tpw47x8rJUI/AAAAAAAATZ4/KsWe5NLzQf8/s320/DSC02004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6uYdCerg0A/Tpw48QQLVUI/AAAAAAAATaA/i3BZsSEB8JI/s1600/DSC02005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6uYdCerg0A/Tpw48QQLVUI/AAAAAAAATaA/i3BZsSEB8JI/s320/DSC02005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Then I spotted this lone black-crowned night heron by by the edge of the pond in West Coast Park.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Is67Riwbdss/TjFfXFkGDlI/AAAAAAAATU8/Fvotf6K5dgM/s1600/IMG_5889.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Is67Riwbdss/TjFfXFkGDlI/AAAAAAAATU8/Fvotf6K5dgM/s320/IMG_5889.JPG" width="320" /> </a></div>For the entire duration of the heavy downpour this bird stood in the open receiving showers of blessing from the heavens. I watched it wondering if it would catch a cold, wondering if like humans, it would run a fever afterwards and whether it needed an umbrella. As I watched its every move I realised that this bird knew how to take care of itself and that was its life. When the rain ceased, it spread its wings, shook away the water as if emerging from a bath and flew away.<br />

I was just lazing on a beanbag and then I happened to look out of my window across to the TV antennae of my neighbour's house and saw a bird perching on it. I left the room to get my camera half expecting it to be gone by the time I returned. It was a joyous surprise when I saw it still there and with my Canon Powershot at maximum zoom power I took as many shots as I could before it decided to take off. This looks like a bee-eater but I am not sure of its name. Anyway it was a beautiful creature and I was glad to have seen it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fypQGwpf7h8/TWcqSXhMp3I/AAAAAAAATIM/p7VCly6jpgA/s1600/IMG_1031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fypQGwpf7h8/TWcqSXhMp3I/AAAAAAAATIM/p7VCly6jpgA/s320/IMG_1031.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Alas I did not get to see them for there was abundance of foliage for them to hide amongst. However, I managed to spot two of these White-throated kingfishers fighting for territorial rights to perch on this branch of a fallen tree in the middle of the pond. The loser had to exile to a tree beyond the reach of my camera lens. I think someday, I would like to invest in a good lens for my DSLR so that what I record of the birds I see would be a whole lot clearer than what I have here with my Canon Powershot. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijnqjKmaTanSv77CYKIRExkIMIKrb9ZPPz2KwpLRMIuLFdeQL4-Tm9_aOLqrmVoxIS-ACZ6pLb1q71eqSE8cbtm3m0a7POBRuYtzRqFCRoohtZx3T6gvU4JKZRVcgpuSVx_zb2XQR8ZhUN/s1600/IMG_0571.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijnqjKmaTanSv77CYKIRExkIMIKrb9ZPPz2KwpLRMIuLFdeQL4-Tm9_aOLqrmVoxIS-ACZ6pLb1q71eqSE8cbtm3m0a7POBRuYtzRqFCRoohtZx3T6gvU4JKZRVcgpuSVx_zb2XQR8ZhUN/s320/IMG_0571.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

In a far corner of Singapore it is still very "kampong" in appeal and it's nearness to Pulau Ubin which is just a two-dollar boat ride away is the added attractiveness for me. While spending a few hours there walking along the coastal boardwalk I came across these birds. Their presence indicate that despite Changi Village's proximity to the Changi International Airport, migratory birds or perhaps birds that have decided to take on the status of permanent residents here can still be seen going about their daily lives. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Yes, I was at the level of the trees but these birds were too far away for me to get a good, clear shot with my point-and-shoot despite the 14X zoom. It was around seven-thirty in the morning and the light of day was weak at that time. I waited for the birds to surface from the foliage and when they did I just could not get enough of them. I could not identify them as I could not find photos of them in the books that I have on birds.

Today I was in the car and was about to drive off when I noticed this lone <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">bulbul</span> fluttering amongst the pomegranate and curry leaf plants in front of a neighbour's house. I was hesitant initially about taking a photo of this bird. I knew that with my zoom lens, there would be no problem capturing this bird digitally. However, I was wary that someone could be inside the house and looking out at a camera pointed directly at it and mistook me for some sort of a private investigator. In the end I whipped out my camera and did what I wanted to do and scooted with these photos.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BwzMCrhhctg/TDLhmUouv5I/AAAAAAAARSQ/6cJsck0YnCE/s1600/IMG_2903.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 262px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BwzMCrhhctg/TDLhmUouv5I/AAAAAAAARSQ/6cJsck0YnCE/s400/IMG_2903.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490698944208879506" border="0" /></a>Yummy dessert.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BwzMCrhhctg/TDLhljqTjLI/AAAAAAAARSI/A0-RjplrNqI/s1600/IMG_2904.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 254px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BwzMCrhhctg/TDLhljqTjLI/AAAAAAAARSI/A0-RjplrNqI/s400/IMG_2904.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490698931062148274" border="0" /></a>There, there, so safe here.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5jHNdVgMwAPYbM7NJs60HTU2XgmGgUbvQKU4StrjTWhGFIFfG2qZCVv7pTC5r0JZvUKi5GH5u38tzbsTf8k3G-bxbIVNRda7LESNLuwk1WXC2kkn3kQAEPrJ5gF5UMv7x7QaqnK9D7Yd/s1600/IMG_2905.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5jHNdVgMwAPYbM7NJs60HTU2XgmGgUbvQKU4StrjTWhGFIFfG2qZCVv7pTC5r0JZvUKi5GH5u38tzbsTf8k3G-bxbIVNRda7LESNLuwk1WXC2kkn3kQAEPrJ5gF5UMv7x7QaqnK9D7Yd/s400/IMG_2905.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490698928840700578" border="0" /></a>Birds have expressions like humans.<br /></div>Mableinsingaporehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04567728687559507895noreply@blogger.com0
