There were enough endemics here to keep me occupied for a couple of days and I set my target birds as anything with the “Seychelles prefix” Potentially this meant 7 birds from a possible 12 across the entire group of islands. A group of fishermen had laid a long net and were pulling it in from the beach. How easy was that?

Grey-crowned Babblers are usually in family groups of eight and are easily heard as you travel along the track. The native plants are often in groups due to the fact that they are mostly self-seeding and once you find a group of these trees or shrubs it is worth stopping to see what is feeding off the nectar.

The Singapore Sports Hub is located on a piece of land where the Kallang River and the Geylang River meet and there are groups of trees around the complex that offer some good birding. We were staying close to the Singapore Sports Hub , so we would walk there, but you can easily get there on the MRT.

This relatively new technique has been used to study relationships among and within several groups of mammals, including lagamorphs (rabbits and hares), rodents, and cetaceans (whales and dolphins), but I couldn’t find many references to its application in avian systematics yet. Ringer Suh et al.

These are sonograms representing the song of four Zebra Finches. Imagine starting with two sets of Zebra Finch hatchlings. The templates can be discovered by raising birds in the absence of adult song, and they often sound very little like the normal final product. The top two are individuals with normal song. Now, release the finches.

Australian Shelduck We were pleased to see a few Australian Shovelers at the first patch of water with the Blue-billed ducks and the light was hopeless, but thankfully there was another group further around and the sun did come out briefly. They have lovely zebra stripes and a leathery flap on their long bills.

The small group was a good counterpart to the large, convivial ABA Safari group of 98 birders. That’s a lot, and the organizers of the safari did an excellent job of creating an environment that offered small group birding during the day and a birders party every night. Wait, let’s backtrack a bit.
