Common Flameback Woodpecker at Pasir Ris Park :) Males have a red crown while females are duller and have a black crown. Like other woodpeckers, they excavates a hole in tree trunk, stumps or large branches for nesting. #woodpecker #sgbirds #nikond500 #pasirrispark #commonflamebackwoodpecker #wildlifephotography #throwback #biodiversity #naturephotography #nparksbuzz #sgbiodiversity (at Pasir Ris Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQLy0nllim/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Spotted Wood owls (Strix seloputo) at Pasir Ris Park :) one species of our resident owls. Preys on rats, mice, lizards and smaller birds. Having no teeth, they tear larger prey into smaller pieces before swallowing. They regurgitate the indigestible parts (fur, bones, teeth & feather etc) like other owls. #owl #spottedwoodowl #birds #ig_myshots #sgbirds #throwback #wildlifephotography #nature #wildlife #photography #pasirrispark (at Pasir Ris Park) https://www.instagram.com/debs_yap/p/BzHJ2WoFn4T/?igshid=f4h4spetlyds
Another favourite nature hideaway of mine in Singapore, Pasir Ris Park. I like wandering around the mangrove section, for the cool darkness and respite from the 🔥 🌞 searing heat, and the interesting wildlife surprises it offers. #PasirRisPark #Singapore #Nparksbuzz #nparks #CityinNature #cityinagarden #VisitSingapore #sgbiodiversity #treesg #sgnature #sgparks #ThisIsSingapore #SingaporeInsiders #whatissingapore #lovinsingapore #lifeinsingapore #sgheritage #park #sgpy_trees #trees #nature_worldwide_trees #treesofinstagram #naturephotography #naturelovers #instanature #naturelover #natureporn #nature_brilliance #nature_shooters #nature_of_our_world #nature_worldwide_trees (at Pasir Ris Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKgQU0hzvW/?utm_medium=tumblr

The early bird gets the worms. Only that this bird eats small reptiles, frogs, crabs and other smaller birds and fish instead.

New Private Home Sales in May Rebound
New private home sales rebound in May despite virus curbs.
75% rise comes even as show-flats were shut, in-person viewing of property was prohibited.
New private home sales rebounded last month from April, even as Singapore was in the second month of its Covid-19 circuit breaker.
Developers in Singapore sold 484 new private homes last month, going by sale caveats, Knight Frank Singapore said yesterday. This is 74.7 per cent more than the 277 new private homes they sold in April.
A total of 967 caveats for private homes were lodged during the circuit breaker from April 7 to June 1, said Knight Frank. Of these, 577 were new sales, while 380 were resale transactions and the remaining 10 were sub-sales. It is also noted that Q1 2020 posted the highest quarterly resale volume in eight years.
This comes even as show-flats were closed and in-person property viewing was curbed during the circuit breaker as strict safe distancing measures were in place.
Mr Leonard Tay, head of research at Knight Frank Singapore, said: "The sales volume of new homes dominated private residential transactions in May. Despite the restrictions on physical interaction, there is life yet for the real estate market."
He said new home buyers have shown "a degree of adjustment and adaptation to the prevailing circumstances" amid the pandemic.
"It could be that many of these new home buyers who sealed the deal in May had already been to the show-flats prior to the circuit breaker, and weeks thereafter of staying at home helped in some measure towards a decision-making purchase," he said.
