We’re passing the Dasada village where shop owners and artisans are opening their doors, collecting rubbish in the street and burning it, while standing around those small fires and warming themselves up. Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus. Winter mornings are pretty cold, even without the wind-chill effect of an open Maruti Gypsy.

Let’s take Singapore’s Changi International Airport as an example; it is a huge hub airport with large numbers of people passing through in transit to Australia, Indonesia and south-east Asia. You will either have to leave it at the airport and collect it later (using up precious time), or carry it with you in hot, humid conditions.

The third in the Nanhui collection of gloriously colored flycatchers is the Blue-and-white Flycatcher. Not surprising then that a pair of Light-vented Bulbuls (photo near the end of this post), when seeing the owl at Nanhui, could not stop complaining about it. It did not seem to bother the owl much though. Oh, the excitement.
