At the jetty in pulau ubin. saw one in a nest in a part of the jetty roof (indoor).
Thank you for the ID Malcolm. Thats why I thought that it looks different from the common koels I see. I read the link already. it was really helpful. Thank you. sorry if i filled them out wrongly...
Hi Natalie and welcome to Project Noah. We hope you enjoy your stay with us. Your birds are actually Asian Glossy Starlings which are smaller but similar to the male Koel which has a much paler bill see my picture here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/227.... The female Koel is very different, being brown with stripes. I have a picture of one here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/571....
Please take a moment to read through our FAQs http://www.projectnoah.org/faq this will help you to fill out all the fields correctly.
