Does anyone here live in Singapore or know a bit about Singapore? I've got a stopover there next month and want to do some birding. Would love to find this bird, for example. Might find it at Kent Ridge Park. I also want to visit Sungei Buloh Wetlands. ebird.org/species/whclau…

From David Hunter on FB who provided this map: "Intermittent significant aurora expected." So, if you are lucky enough to have clear skies and are below the white line, go take a look.

Sunset today with cormorants settling down for the night along the Outer Harbor breakwater.

Lovely sunset at Outer Harbor today.

The guys in the back are out of focus due to depth of field, but nice to get these three lined up in the late afernoon light. An Australian crake, a grey teal and a red-kneed dotterel. Mutton Cove Conservation Reserve.

The steel screw steamer Excelsior, was built by Gourlay Bros in Dundee, Scotland, in 1897 and was abandoned at Mutton Cove in 1945.

Crested pigeons at Mutton Cove Conservation Reserve. These guys always look permanently surprised 😄

A red-kneed dotterel at Mutton Cove Conservation Reserve yesterday.

Another photo from sunset at Outer Harbor yesterday showing the cormorants and gulls on the breakwater.

Before I went to Mutton Cove yesterday, I called in to North Arm and was lucky to see some dolphins cruising around.

This cute little dog was on the dock at North Arm - running around barking trying to get the dolphins in the water. The dolphins did not seem to care at all 😂 (I tried to get a photo of the dog with the dolphins but it just didn't happen.)

Okay, so I said that I didn't get a photo of the little doggo with a dolphin - but I do have this one. Not my best work but it's cute. And there's a cormorant in the picture too 😊

I just realised that I have met today's expert witness in the mushroom case. He taught my son at uni.

Two years ago, I was fortunate to see this eastern yellow wagtail (Motacilla tschutschensis) at St Kilda, SA. Super rare here, they are northern hemisphere birds & are only very occasionally seen in the southern part of Australia. So nice of this one to pop up not far from home!

It's World Bee Day! Here's a native blue-banded bee in flight. Very speedy and difficult to photograph. It's a real workout!

Another one for World Bee Day. This native blue-banded bee was resting in my friend's garden in the southern Flinders Ranges.

Dive! Dive! Dive! A red-kneed dotterel acting like me at the chocolate fountain 😁
