Boxing Day walk

Boxing Day walk was delayed for a few days but we finally dragged ourselves out of the house and took a quick walk around Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.



Birdwatching ... as well as an unidentifiable cuckoo (see below), we saw a pair of beautiful Chestnut-bellied Malkoha and a Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker



We saw this cuckoo at the summit but we didn't hear it call so it's pretty difficult to identify. It's either an Oriental Cuckoo or an Indian Cuckoo ... anybody able to confirm which?


We saw more monkeys at the entrance to the nature reserve than in it.
