I took leave on Monday, 8 of June to pay visit to Chek Jawa, Ubin a place i have not been for more than 2 years. I choose a Monday to avoid the expected crowds in Ubin during weekends. I really do enjoy a quieter and less crowded Ubin but also understand that for this island to remain relevant, it needs to attract tourist in addition to nature lovers.
On my way home after Ubin I decided to make a detour to Pasir Ris Park and that was a decision that allowed to finally catch sight of the resident Buffy Fish Owl which i was trying to catch sight of during my many trips to Pasir Ris Park. This resident is easily identifiable once you spot it, the reason being, it is blind in one eye.
The first two photos are of the Buffy Fish Owl and are my favourite as well because after it turned and look at me, then only i realised and confirmed for sure it was the one-eye Buffy Fish Owl, a local resident photographed by other birders before.
I hope there will be more Buffy Fish Owl in Pasir Ris with a sustainable food supply for them. I need to do a bit more catch up in some of my article postings which i have not done yet. I made more trips this year to Pasir Ris Park which i have not blogged about yet, for example trips to catch sight the juvenile Pied Fantails in its nest. Will try to find time to do so.
