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. In Singapore, Common Redshanks mostly drink Tiger Beer. Somebody fire the photographer, please.

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.

Our next species was decidedly uncommon, a Black-headed Ibis circled overhead for a minute before flying off. Lesser Whistling Duck were flying around, and a Black-naped Oriole provided a nice flash of colour.
