Thanks for this great video, very patiently put together. Sg nature conservations & biodiversity has come a long way since independence. Thanks to the good work of our National Parks Board in greening this tiny island city state and balancing development with nature.
Yes I did see them and photographed them. Didn’t want to put them in the video though as they are critically endangered and heavily poached, didn’t really want to share the locations of them
Nice work - especially enjoyed the strange (to me) calling Tit-babbler, the sturdy and beautiful Stork-billed K/F, and both Owls, each seeming to demand the respect due their position. Thank you!!
This video is so useful! Thank you so much! Im in Singapore for the next two weeks. Heading out with my binoculars, with your video and ebird as my guide.
Thank you! Fantastic, that is the exact reason I make my videos, so people can get an idea of what they might see in each destination. Have an amazing time.
Wow. You managed see some fantastic birds and get great shots/videos. It's lovely to see some amazingly different birds that are not too far away. Thanks
Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you. We will be in Singapore in two weeks time! First visit so this was super-helpful. Thank you also for the foodie tips, my other great passion.
Great video and brilliant photos. I was looking at returning to Singapore for a holiday/birding trip in February . All your locations were the ones I was looking at so you have been very helpful. Many thanks
Thank you, just the type viewer I make these videos for! Someone looking to travel to the area and get an idea of what they might see! Have an amazing trip.
I'm quite fascinated with Singapore! After watching your video, I have put it on my list to visit (probably on next year's list I think). So many birds I've never seen before!! Great video with some great tips on which parks to visit which is really helpful for us. Thanks!! ~ Karen
That is one of the best things about going birding in a new country, nearly every bird is new. Singapore is wonderful not just for the wild life but the food, and attractions are excellent too. Just be prepared for the humidity!
@@naturephotographychallenge yes that is how long we were there. One key thing to remember with the humidity is make sure your camera gear is acclimated each morning if left in the Aircon overnight. You could get up to an hour of foggy lenses if not careful! Had same problem up in Cape York.
It's a very nice Birds video recorded. But at time 3:20, the intermediate Egret has a pair of yellow legs. It looked more like Pacific Reef-Heron (white pattern)
What is the pin striped tit babler doing at 18:09? It’s such a funny action Also incredibly beautiful video!!! I’m Singaporean and new to birding, and I loved watching this very much. Some birds I haven’t seen even before! I’ve been wondering what makes that call and finally learnt from your video that it’s the oriental magpie-robin! Thanks :)
I was asking myself the same question when I was filming the babbler. Maybe mating dance? It was very weird. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, it was an amazing journey. You have a lot of birds to discover on your birding adventures. I wish I got a look at a barbet, maybe next time!
Lived here my whole life and haven't seen most of these birds lol. What equipment did you use, and how did you get so many shots of birds from the side? Birds are usually in trees and I only get to see their bottoms :)
Fantastic! I may be making a trip to Melbourne in the near future. What are some good birds hotspots in and around the city? Thanks for any advice. Oops, just realised your home city is Sydney, not Melbourne 😂

They really have done an amazing job with the parks over there. Loved visiting them all
Amazing variety of bird species...
It was quite amazing the variety that can be found in this small country
Beautiful work and very informative! This is one of the best Singapore birding videos I have come across yet.
Thank you, glad it was useful. I couldn’t find a video that showed some of the birding spots, so made one myself!
Oh. You didnt get to see the straw-headed bulbul... Dairy farm should have plenty... Great video! Enjoy watching it
Yes I did see them and photographed them. Didn’t want to put them in the video though as they are critically endangered and heavily poached, didn’t really want to share the locations of them
@@RogersBirdingHotspots I see. Thanks for being so considerate towards wildlife! Am glad you have a great birding experience in Singapore.
Excellent video with details. Differences between egrets were explained beautifully. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Glad you liked it!
beautiful photography. Thank you.

How beautiful Roger, I might just book a ticket.
It is so worth going!
Wow. Singapore is on my list of top birding destinations.
Go there! It is awesome
Wow. You managed see some fantastic birds and get great shots/videos. It's lovely to see some amazingly different birds that are not too far away. Thanks
Thank you. Was so good seeing birds very different to what I get back home in Sydney

Awesome educational video ❤
Worth watching over again ❤
Thank you!
Thank you. I am going to Singapore this fall and am packing a lot of wildlife viewing in!
Have an amazing time. There is lots of wildlife to see
Wow, you got the owls on the east and west of Singapore. Beautiful shots and great video!!!
Thank you so much, I watched so many of your vids for inspiration on where to go!
@@RogersBirdingHotspots Great to know my videos helped a little. Cheers!!!
Amazing species observed! Lovely video!
Thank you, we definitely saw some amazing birds
Really well done! Your photography and videography is incredible.
Thank you so much, means a lot to get feedback like this.
Wonderful photography
Many thanks!
Excellent video and editing ❤❤❤
Thanks ☺️
Thanks for the video. Am travelling via Singapore and have some ideas where to go birding.
Awesome. All are good spots

@@RogersBirdingHotspots ah yes... the humidity! Not a fan of that! Five days is probably a good amount of time 😀
@@naturephotographychallenge yes that is how long we were there. One key thing to remember with the humidity is make sure your camera gear is acclimated each morning if left in the Aircon overnight. You could get up to an hour of foggy lenses if not careful! Had same problem up in Cape York.
@@RogersBirdingHotspots thanks for the tip! I wouldn't have thought of that! 😊 That would be really annoying!!
It's a very nice Birds video recorded. But at time 3:20, the intermediate Egret has a pair of yellow legs. It looked more like Pacific Reef-Heron (white pattern)
Ooh ok good pick up thanks. Too late to change it now. I always struggle with the egrets and herons
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you!!! So beautifully filmed. I'm from Singapore ❤
Thank you, marvellous country you live in.
Excellent bird observation footage in Singapore. But you missed the opportunity to see the Buffy Fish Owl while visiting Hampstead Wetlands Park.
Thank you, we went there tried to see it but had to settle for the Hornbill instead, saw the owl at Sungei so not too disappointed
@@RogersBirdingHotspots Glad you saw it at a different place.
Great video what kit did you use please photos really good.
Thank you. Nikon Z9 with 400mm 2.8. Also used iPhone for wider shots
What is the pin striped tit babler doing at 18:09? It’s such a funny action

Nice capture and great video! I am travelling to Singapore next weekend and plan to see the birds too. Did you hired any local guide?
Fantastic. Look up www.birdingsg.com we used him for a day and he was great. Have amazing trip!
😊 Fantastic work ❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Lived here my whole life and haven't seen most of these birds lol.
What equipment did you use, and how did you get so many shots of birds from the side? Birds are usually in trees and I only get to see their bottoms :)
Thank you. It does require a lot of patience and experience in waiting for the bird to position themselves. I use a Nikon z9 and a 400mm 2.8 lens.
How do you even distinguish which of these birds are which 😅 there’s so many species! Great work 👌
Thank you. Once you have studied and photographed enough of them you start to learn them all. Glad you enjoyed it
Were the birds introduced? Singapore is a long way for some of the species to arrive?
There are a couple that are introduced in the video, most are native to south east asia.
Wow beautiful videos, you saw so many unique species! Just wondering what kind of setup you use to be able to film so steadily?
Thank you. I use a Nikon z9 which has really great image stabilisation.
@@RogersBirdingHotspots wow not even a tripod or monopod? I might have to invest your videos look incredible!
@@Deidaraness Not support needed, the image stabilisation in modern cameras and lenses is amazing.
Beautiful video. 👍 May i know the title of the last music used?
Sorry I’m not sure on the name of that one
Fantastic! I may be making a trip to Melbourne in the near future. What are some good birds hotspots in and around the city? Thanks for any advice. Oops, just realised your home city is Sydney, not Melbourne 😂
Haha no problem. See if you can get to Werribee treatment plant. You may need a key (do a google search)
@@RogersBirdingHotspotsThanks to your great tip, I engaged a guide and had a great time at Werribee :)
Awesome video Roger. Were you able to visit all the different sites via public transport or did you hire a car?
You can get to most sites via public transport, we had very limited time though so just caught Grab (Uber) everywhere.
Thanks for sharing. This is so inspiring.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Interested to know how you travel to the sites, Taxi?
The quickest way is Uber ( or the Singapore equivalent)
Thanks
U didnt film open bill stork new comer.
I don’t think one was there, did you see one in the video?
$16 Matcha is a rip-off. There are much better Hainanese Chicken Rice too.
I love that you watched my bird video and made comments on the food. Matcha was amazing but I agree better chicken rice about.
@@RogersBirdingHotspots There is a pair of mated Buffy Fish Owls incubating eggs in Hampstead Wetlands now so if you are in the area, do drop by!
Woah amazing, unfortunately I’m back home in Sydney now !
