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.

It is hard to imagine any birder not liking woodpeckers – they are the “motherhood and apple pie” of the avian world. The Bearded Woodpecker (Mkuze, South Africa) does not really look any more bearded than many other woodpeckers. It is the most widespread woodpecker in Africa, claims the HBW.

How many copies of Sasol does one human need? I haven’t used any other eguides other than Sasol one (and a fairly basic Singapore one), but if they are all this good the days of paper guides in the field could well be numbered.

Our location meant that during the height of the pearling industry here the Pearling Masters sent their “whites&# to be laundered in Singapore by sea, as that was the fastest option! The closest town to the south is Port Hedland-over 600kms, which is also a small coastal town. However, I must critizise this post of yours.
