Spotted wood owl in Singapore

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19794341 > Spotted an owl in the woods in Bishan Park in central Singapore early in the evening. Logically this makes it a [spotted wood owl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_wood_owl). > > Sorry for the low quality - it was at the limits of my Pixel 6 camera.

    Agree with your opinion. More than just them being unhappy, also for the child to have a poor childhood because the parent never wanted to take care of another human

  • Asian Glossy Starling - only shiny in direct sunlight

    Sadly they only look black under the shade. I think it's a snakefruit tree, doesn't really look like lychee

    Really depends on your use case beyond basic requirements. I like the logitech 502 or razer basilisk for gaming, but for daily work I use the logitech mx vertical.

  • Superb Starling - so colourful that it looks fake

    It's taken in the Singapore Bird Park! Haha I guess they don't have too many options for natural looking bird baths.

    They're native to the Kenya region, but I got this picture at the Singapore Bird Park

  • Wait, is birding about seeing the same couple of species 99% of the time? Always has been
  • peachfaced peachfaced Now 100%

    It started out as trying to photograph new species that I didn't find before (gotta catch 'em all).

    After a while I accepted some are less common to see, and I shifted to trying to get better photos or different positions of familiar birds to improve my skills.

    I think either approach works, whichever makes you happy with the hobby.

    Agreed, another reason to slowly move away from Google operating systems. I've been slowly removing my reliance on them and this may just be the push I need for the next step.

    Good to know that it wasn't done personally, but we should avoid encouraging this behaviour without the full story behind it.

    I hope the OP will come back to explain the circumstances of this picture (e.g food based colouring, dog knocked over dyes).

    Based on habitat, Milky stork is more likely. Yellow-billed seems more to the African side of the world.
