Blue-winged Pitta in Singapore

10,000 Birds

During our three weeks of birding in Singapore we spent many hours on forest trails. Windsor Nature Park is easily accessible by public transport and there are several walk trails of varying length. Blue-winged Pittas can easily be overlooked in dense forest and you may not be able to see the bird in the header photograph above.

Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan

10,000 Birds

On the first trip in 2012 we used public transport to get there and the train conveniently gets you to Macarthur Square shopping centre and you can then get a bus that drops you right at the entrance to the park. The website gives you an idea of the birds you can hope to encounter and there have been ongoing studies taking place since 1986.

You will need a sturdy crate for transport, scratching post, climbing tree, litter box, food and water bowls and a breakaway collar with an ID tag. Cats, particularly when acquired as kittens, can be taught to get along happily with a wide variety of other companion animals, including birds and dogs. Keep your kitten indoors.

Falakhe’s Story

10,000 Birds

The day before, the day I arrived, was a transport day, and that meant the pack hadn’t been seen in the afternoon. Falakhe is still alive, as is the dominant male in his litter. I got in touch with Pippa last week, because I was writing this but had forgotten Fala’s name. I didn’t need to.

Perth Hills National Parks

10,000 Birds

Whether you enjoy hiking, birding or cycling there is something for everyone. There were many birds high up in the trees in the Perth Hills and it made for challenging birding! Around the picnic area at the weir the Galahs were busy on the ground feeding and the ground was also littered with the tips of the trees.

Sassafras Gully Loop

10,000 Birds

Whilst we were planning our trip to Sydney we were hoping to fit some hiking and birding into our schedule and found a great website that would help us decide on some walks. As it was about 10kms long we knew it would take more than the 4 hours mentioned if we were birding, so would be a day out. We continued on along the trail.

Ferntree Gully-Dandenong Ranges National Park

10,000 Birds

Last Sunday Grant was able to leave work in the afternoon and I had researched options of places we could get to within one hour of the city of Melbourne using public transport that would offer us some birding opportunities. I could almost do a post just on rear ends of birds high up in the canopy! Acacia Track.
