Awesome collections. I am a newbie hobbyist of birds and wildlife . Seen many from my room window and Pasir Ris park. I actually relied on your database to identify the birds. Thank you so much. Check out my IG page when you have some free time @three_musketeers_noob

Guest		24-Mar-2017 05:47
I chance upon some birds while strolling along the river near esplanade.Was walking past by some plants and realized that these birds was making melody with their wings.They were small and red in color and they blend in the plants.never get to see them ever since ~ not sure what kind too

Daniel Wakra		14-Jun-2015 04:01
Some of the beautiful bird photo collections in Singapore. Fantastic job.

Guest		09-May-2015 02:38
Very kind of you to share your pictures. It was only after retirement that I had the chance to investigate my neighbourhood for wildlife and to my great surprise Singapore teeming with it. Your pictures are a great help in identifying the birds. Thanks again.

Guest		01-May-2014 01:36
Enjoyed your pictures. Lovely. Adds to my pleasure visiting the parks, running or just walking around the gardens anywhere in Singapore.

Tay Hui Meng		28-Oct-2013 06:49
I took it at HortPark.

inter		24-Sep-2013 01:22
Hi, Do you have any locations where I can take pics of the red whiskered bulbul? I would prefer the location to be at roadside. Kindly mail me if you have any spot. Thanks

kenneth		24-Sep-2013 01:13
Hi may I know where I can find red whiskerd bulbul in SG? I have been looking for a place where I can take some pics. Preferably the location are near roadsides . Kindly drop me a mail at kennethlim1975@gmail.com Thanks

Tay Hui Meng		08-Aug-2013 14:16
it could be parakeet. they fly in flocks http://www.pbase.com/tayhuimeng64/image/132601996

Gues		19-Jul-2013 23:26
Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. My family regularly see several flocks of greyish green plumb birds with a bit of red around either the wing tips that will fly from bukit batok town park towards bukit timah nature reserve. Flocks of 2-6 will fly from 0700 to 0730. I reckon they look like small parrots by their flight speed and straightline flying pattern. What do think they are?

Tay Hui Meng		01-Jun-2013 14:17
The most common one I saw in Jurong Area is called Cattle Egret. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_Egret

KG Tan		09-May-2013 03:43
Hi Tay I frequently saw white storks near patches of green field outside chinese garden. Sometimes along patches near juring east mrt, sometimes as far as patches beside jurong point. May I know what is the exact name of the bird?

Tay Hui Meng		06-Apr-2013 02:34
BTW, we should all know this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Sunbird The Crimson Sunbird is the national bird of Singapore.

Tay Hui Meng		06-Apr-2013 02:31
These are some of the sites I visit for my bird information. Hope this will help. http://www.naturepixels.org/blog/ http://www.naturepixels.org/blog/category/birding-in-singapore/ http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/birds.htm http://www.nss.org.sg/

Hi, I am a 1st year JC student. Currently doing a project and need to submit my report of 500 words on Monday. My article is about what the government is doing to protect wildlife birds in Singapore. I need statistics and references. Can you please assist me with the relevant websites for me to get the right facts. Thank you.

Tay Hui Meng		16-Oct-2012 14:25
Hi, I can only make a guess from your description. I think its a Drongo, Lesser Racket-Tailed. http://www.pbase.com/tayhuimeng64/drongo_lesser_rackettailed

Guest		25-Sep-2012 11:26
This birds always flew around my work place around 1845-1920hrs daily.. Its black in colour, It has a double tail and at the end there is a spade shaped.. What bird is this? Looks kinda exotic..

Tay Hui Meng		06-Jul-2012 16:02
Hi Willy, " A huge bird with black head, full black body, a quite a long black tail and red brownish wings. " It could be an Asian Koel. Not very sure from your description. http://www.pbase.com/tayhuimeng64/image/94208940

Tay Hui Meng		06-Jul-2012 15:46
Hi Shane, " There is a bird I see - I am thinking it is a Kingfisher - it has a brown head and beak but very blue body/wings. " I think its a Stork-Billed Kingfisher. http://www.pbase.com/tayhuimeng64/kingfisher_storkbilled

willy		22-Jun-2012 13:24
a better description of the bird The description is as follow: A huge bird with black head, full black body, a quite a long black tail and red brownish wings. Spotted around malcolm rd. Any ideas?

willy		22-Jun-2012 13:22
Sorry I have an request to ask. I saw a huge huge bird with full black body and only red brownish wings. Can you help to identiy what type of bird is that?

Tay Hui Meng		09-Jun-2012 07:15
Thanks for the tips.

Ben		07-Jun-2012 17:21
Great job, Great shots. Recommend another location....along Buckley Road (off Newton Road)at 6.30 to 7+am....I counted 6-7 species of birds feeding on the berries of the ficus, starlings, bulbuls, pink breasted pigeon, thrush and several more which I have not been able to id.

Jehu		10-Apr-2012 00:10
Excellent shots, thank you for documenting the birds in Singapore. I have learnt much from your gallery. Thank you for sharing.

Guest		19-Feb-2012 06:26
Just want to thank you for sharing this gallery, that makes my bird ID a lot easier Great job as well documenting so many birds in SG best regards, Sim KP Aka zingbean

Tay Hui Meng		25-Jan-2012 11:13
You basically need long lens and lots of luck. Hope it will not fly off before u get a shot.

Guest		21-Jan-2012 00:16
Hi, a fabulous collection of birds photo you have here. How did you managed to get close to the Black Bazar? I could never get a decent shot of this guy or gal u may call it, any advice? Thanks.

"...a good place for an amateur with little time to go bird watching?" I would say there are no much place for bird watching except Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Most of the birds I took are migratory bird from North of Singapore.

Tay Hui Meng		05-Nov-2011 14:48
" ...where did u get the pictures of the cockatoo from?" It was a chance encounter.I took this pic at West Coast Rd - between block 601 and 609 car park. I was waiting for a bus at the opp bus stop.

John sim		30-Oct-2011 12:26
Great collection of bird photos. Saw a colorful little bird at east coast the other day and came here to identify it. Turns out its the coppersmith barbet. So thanks for that. Any recommendations where might be a good place for an amateur with little time to go bird watching? Cheers

Hi Mr Tay, just wondering where did u get the pictures of the cockatoo from? I used to see them hanged out at one of the tree in Newton, went back a few months back and very dissapointed as the tree had been put down and totally replace by building.

Tay Hui Meng		17-May-2011 15:29
The most common 'yellow' bird in Sinapore that I can think of is an Oriole. A good sample of the Oriole -http://www.pbase.com/cajuca/image/58303485

Tay Hui Meng		05-May-2011 03:35
I can try to ID them.

Yen		26-Apr-2011 01:20
Hello there I stumbled into your marvellous collection of winged beauties. So thrilled I could identify several species who have been visiting my garden. There is a tiny red bird and a bejewelled azure blue one who drops by every afternoon for a sip of nectar from the ornamental banana flowers. I'm hoping to be able to capture them in photos one day. Would you happen to know these birds?

Tay Hui Meng		12-Feb-2011 15:35
" ... Like a alarm clock in the morning around 7am plus. Don't hear him in the day but sometimes in the evening." I believe the bird is a male Asian Koel and it's looking for a female. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Koel )

Jean-Luc Elias		11-Feb-2011 11:38
Lucky you to have so many spieces around! BV

Aw Hai Lee		08-Feb-2011 12:55
Hi, enjoyed your bird pictures very much, nice. There is a black bird (more than one foot long) living near my house (Bukit Panjang). It doesn't sing but hound like a monkey (long arms type). It goes Ooik Ooik. Very loud and from slow to fast. Any idea ? I will try to take a picture one day (if I get to see it again - only once so far). I know some people hate this bird but my wife and I find it very cute. Like a alarm clock in the morning around 7am plus. Don't hear him in the day but sometimes in the evening.

joseantonio		24-Jan-2011 05:42
Excellent collection. Nice images

Unregistered Person		10-Aug-2010 09:58
Magnificent shots! Some of these pictures are quite hard to capture. Thanks for having a little more time focusing on the picture of the birds!

Guest		30-Nov-2008 11:50
Very nice bird photography!

John Cravatta		11-Oct-2008 13:18
I enjoyed viewing your beautiful gallery and excellent photographic skills.~V~

yoram shpirer		28-Jun-2008 19:40
Hi Tay I'm glad I came across your galleries; you have some superb Birds shots. Definitely added to my favorites list! Regards Yoram http//shpirery.com

Tay Hui Meng		29-Mar-2008 14:31
took up your idea - http://www.pbase.com/tayhuimeng64/singapore_wild_birds Thanks.

Guest		29-Mar-2008 10:02
Excellent variety, though it's hard to view. Would be nice if the galleries were all together so it wouldn't break the flow. Thanks for sharing.
