Redgannet was originally conceived as a way to encourage my colleagues (in case you haven’t read the profile, I work as a flight attendant for an international airline) out of the shops and their hotel rooms to experience something that the local natural scene has to offer. Below are details for Paser Ris and Singapore Botanic Gardens.

While planning a much-needed escape from the Western Hemisphere to Singapore, I had to explore the layover birding potential of Narita International Airport, one of two airports serving Tokyo. What I learned convinced me to block out a full day to experience my first taste of Japanese birding.

Another interesting bird we flushed up was a male Red Junglefowl , a bird that Mike saw in Singapore recently and even chose as his bird of the year. Lesser Whistling Duck were flying around, and a Black-naped Oriole provided a nice flash of colour.

Felonious Jive really likes a ravishing returning rarity – a Falcated Duck. Falcated Duck by Felonious Jive Duncan Wright had some pretty good birds to choose from for his Best Bird of the Year. It was a heart-pounding scene straight out of Jurassic Park, an odd experience for a laid-back pursuit like birding. Sound good?
