Jurong Bird Park - Singapore



A holiday with no laptop whilst infinitely more enjoyable means a dang lot more processing at home. Time to start the sifting of 400+ photos from our two weeks in Singapore. These posts will be more of a highlights reel, starting with the Jurong Bird Park.

After no success haggling for a teleconvertor with the surly proprietors of camera shops in Sim Lim Square with Chris N, we hit the bird park and the new 70-200mm was proving it's worth and taking everything in its stride.


(remember what I said - "don't make eye contact with the tourists")



It was great to see some very well trained birds strutting their stuff at the shows, particularly the hornbills and the vulture that got thrown at our heads.





Lorakeet feed was the highlight with too much time being spent feeding these monsters and getting pooped on.Thanks to Chris N for hanging out with us.

Only 400 photos for a 2 week trip???? I took about that many at the KL bird sanctuary alone!

SR: Ta mate!

SB: I know, I know, I was slack. But there really is only so many photos you can take in S'pore, most of my 400 were family orientated too.
