199. Barred Eagle Owl, Singapore

A very rare resident in Singapore, the shrinking forests has made nesting a very challenging obstacle for the large but majestic looking Barred Eagle Owl. It is seldom spotted in our green areas so to see one often draws big crowds. My favourite owl, the eagle owl is on the Singapore Red List's critically endangered status.

It was a toss-up between my favourite owl species and a new visitor to Singapore, but the small visitor won the 2nd century spot. 

 

200. Two-barred Warbler, Singapore

 

A tiny warbler with aspirations for higher education, the visitor to Singapore was recorded for the first time on the grounds of the higher-learning campus boarding house at Kent Ridge. Seen as far south as northern parts of Peninsular Malaysia, its visit has stirred hopes that the warbler will be better seen and recorded in the future on our island.

Congrats on reaching #200! A colourful collection indeed! An excellent batch of photos with very good species. We did see the Slaty Woodpecker in Thailand and, as you say, it has a prehistoric vibe to it. Love the owls, too.

Thank you @Peter Connan @BRACQUENE

 @TonyQthe four crakes were taken over the last five months so it does take time to get them. ;)
