The only bird-related activity I can think of is looking at bird photos I took in Singapore in 2015, and adding some irrelevant comments to them. Presumably, birds living in Singapore do not understand German. And I spent my time in Singapore birding, not shopping.

Among other things… I go birding. Yes, birding can be a wonderful tool for maintaining mental health. Why is birding such an effective mental health tool? Green is good in birds, too… like this Berylline Hummingbird. Birding works great for me!

Specifically birds. The most interesting bird we saw that morning was one that my wife pointed out as a Tricolored Heron but I felt it was a Little Blue Heron. The vireo likely had a nest and was acutely aware of the motmot’s taste for baby bird.

Not as interesting as birds, but easier to get photos of – see a few at the end of this post, just put there in an uncaring way as I really went to St. Lucia for the birds. I sometimes wonder why green birds are relatively rare. Different bird families, I know.

The main attraction for birders here are the hornbills – I have written about them before , so this post will be more on the other birds I saw there in 2017. Anyway, it is a very cute-looking bird if you are big enough not to be among its prey of (mostly) insects. Birding

It may seem like an unnecessarily recurring theme in my posts about birding within Trinidad & Tobago, but the more I write on the subject the more it becomes apparent that the number three must have some significance, somewhere. Its inaccessibility has led to it not being birded often.

I am guessing that no birder practices this passion exclusively for the birds. I couldn’t even begin to do justice to this massive tree with my long birding lens. Of course, even when you bird with a botanist, some of the excitement must actually be bird-related.

The continuous fog when birding the next morning did not help either. The severe drawback of course being that the birds were covered in heavy fog too. Maybe this bird has some secret vices that nobody has ever heard about? Nor was I, after a day of chasing birds in the fog.
