My Garden Birdwatch!

Hey! I've contributed as a citizen scientist as  the birdwatchers termed it, participating in the nationwide garden survey!

Together with Tham, we spent 30 minutes in the vicinity of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Hamid Khan counting and snapping photos of the birds.

Short of a good camera, most of the pictures zoomed were horribly blur! I could only focus from a distance, as approaching any nearer would put the birds to flight!!!

Eurasian Tree Sparrow

Rock Pigeon

House Crow

Common Myna

Javan Myna
In all, there were, for submission 6 Eurasian Tree Sparrows, 7 Rock Pigeons, 13 House Crows, 5 Common Mynas, Javan Mynas and 1 Black napped Oriole. The Oriole flew off before I had my phone camera ready!
