JOHOR, MALAYSIA, DECEMBER 2012 – If you’re traveling to Singapore for birding, you might want to think outside the box or, in this case, the island. I visited during the quietest week of the year, yet still saw tons of amazing birds, many of which don’t turn up in Singapore. Bats under a rocky overhang.

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. One interesting experience here was finding a baby terrapin on the road and picking it up to move it only for peter to call out a Common Iora , one of my two lifer families of the day.

It was a heart-pounding scene straight out of Jurassic Park, an odd experience for a laid-back pursuit like birding. The Singapore island of Pulau Ubin is a reliable location for Red Junglefowl, the roosters of which are dashingly handsome but unexpectedly wary… I guess that’s how they stay wild!
