An oriental white eye. A very chubby but tiny bird of maybe about 10cm. It was named due to its white ring surrounding the eye. Infact, its genus name of Zosterops means "girdle eye" in greek. It was nesting on a sea almond tree.
The common, but charismatic yellow vented bulbul. Nesting on a fern.
The stunningly beautiful pink-necked green pigeon, on a Simpoh-Air. Males are colorful with their characteristic pink neck while the females are uniformly green. (Update) Saw the female bird today, seems like they both taking turns to incubate?
this is too beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI couldnt agree more.
ReplyDeleteHi Siyang,
ReplyDeleteThe mother and father of the pink-necked green pigeon take turns to take care of their eggs (and young too i think).
If my memory serves me correct, mom takes the morning shift while dad takes the night shift.
Great photo 2. It looks as if you climbed up the tree to take the photo. :P
Cheers,
July
haa, thanx for the info
ReplyDeleteDad takes the morning shift while mom takes the evening/night shift.
