Wildlife outside my house1

Outside my house, There's lots of wildlife. Yes, mainly

birds. Probably the most common bird in Singapore,

the Javan Myna is always visiting the Mac Arthur's palm

at my place. However, the palms aren't very close and my

camera can't zoom so well, so for me, getting a good photo

of the mynas isn't easy.How I usually do it is to put the lens

right in front of my binoculars. Then I look for the bird and

try my best to keep still as I shoot. I don't have a tripod.

This doesn't always work though. Sometimes the bird flies

away when I'm adjusting, or I just can't find the bird.

Around the Mac Arthur's, there are many others.

Plantain Squirrels, Asian glossy starlings, Black naped

orioles, common goldenbacks and banded woodpeckers.

Black naped orioles, Are rather large and conspicuous.

Their distinctive call is also very loud.

Asian koels used to be frequent.
