Spotted wood owl in Singapore

> Spotted an owl in the woods in Bishan Park in central Singapore early in the evening. Logically this makes it a spotted wood owl. > > Sorry for the low quality - it was at the limits of my Pixel 6 camera.

    'Look mum - one leg!'

    There is no topic for Thursday, feel free to suggest one!
  • Agree with your opinion. More than just them being unhappy, also for the child to have a poor childhood because the parent never wanted to take care of another human

  • Silhouette
  • What a beautiful shot

  • Asian Glossy Starling - only shiny in direct sunlight
  • Sadly they only look black under the shade. I think it's a snakefruit tree, doesn't really look like lychee

  • Didn't even notice till now, I think it's a snakefruit tree

  • Wireless mouse suggestions?
  • Really depends on your use case beyond basic requirements. I like the logitech 502 or razer basilisk for gaming, but for daily work I use the logitech mx vertical.

    Superb Starling - so colourful that it looks fake
  • It's taken in the Singapore Bird Park! Haha I guess they don't have too many options for natural looking bird baths.

  • Superb Starling - so colourful that it looks fake
  • They're native to the Kenya region, but I got this picture at the Singapore Bird Park

    Wait, is birding about seeing the same couple of species 99% of the time? Always has been
  • It started out as trying to photograph new species that I didn't find before (gotta catch 'em all).

    After a while I accepted some are less common to see, and I shifted to trying to get better photos or different positions of familiar birds to improve my skills.

    I think either approach works, whichever makes you happy with the hobby.

    OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING.
  • This picture triggered the same Calvin and Hobbes memory for me

  • Android users in S’pore to be blocked from installing unverified apps as part of anti-scam trial
  • Agreed, another reason to slowly move away from Google operating systems. I've been slowly removing my reliance on them and this may just be the push I need for the next step.

  • Great egret at sunset
  • Very nicely timed photo!

  • S. Korea's childbirths hit record low in Nov.
  • This wrong post was linked, this was published in Jan 2023 reporting on Nov 2022 numbers.

    The correct one is here. (Jan 2024 post reporting Nov 2023 numbers)

  • Still wishing everyone a wonderful day!
  • Good to know that it wasn't done personally, but we should avoid encouraging this behaviour without the full story behind it.

  • Still wishing everyone a wonderful day!
  • I hope the OP will come back to explain the circumstances of this picture (e.g food based colouring, dog knocked over dyes).

  • Unknown bird at Taman Burung, Kuala Lumpur
  • Based on habitat, Milky stork is more likely. Yellow-billed seems more to the African side of the world.

  • Pacific Swallow taking a short break
