SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENED TODAY!
i saw a kite! on the tree outside my house. as in kite, a bird that looks like an eagle, but it's much smaller. it was grey and was mottled wth black spots. and a white head! and i was studying geog in the study! nd i was so excited, so i took the binoculars out and watched it! hahahah birdwatching is funnn!
ooh and then after a while it flew fomr tree to tree and disappeared! and now i'm trying to find the name of the kite!
IM SO EXCITED. hahahah the last time i saw one was in primary six, a golden coloured kite on someone's rooftop in the distance. sounds so majestic, eh?
hahah i dont know what kite it is! anyway, this is another kite that can be found in singapore!
the brahminy kite
could be the one i saw on the rooftop. because it's back was to me and it was brown!hahah at least i think what i saw today was a kite! because it was big and looked like an eagle. but maybe it was another type of bird! never mind, it shall be called the
"The Bird I Saw on 5th of February"
AHA! found it! oohbashoomba! hhahaaahah
so it's not a kite, it's a WHITE-BELLIED SEA EAGLE! whhe i have a natural curiosity! hahhah okay.
HERE IT IS! Ta-DA!
whee the mystery bird is revealed! and my maid said she saw it yesterday as well. FACTS ON THE WHITE-BELLIED SEA EAGLE. "The White-bellied Fish Eagle is the largest raptor in Singapore: with a wingspan of 50cm and body length of 70cm.White-bellied Fish Eagles are more commonly seen on warm early mornings riding the coastal thermals, holding their wings in a V-shape (other raptors hold them horizontally).White-bellied Fish Eagles hunt prey that are found near the water surface mainly sea snakes, and fish. But other prey include birds, turtles, swimming crabs and even bats. They may also scavenge on refuse; a few haunt harbours for this purpose."http://www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/birds/Haliaeetus_leucogaster.htmooh and they pair for life and are found near inland reservoirs! but how come i saw only one! and my house is sort of near a reservoir, but not very near! AHH so interesting! how i wish we can learn this way, and not from memorising textbooks! hahah and this is for clarisse look! they eat TURTLES. bye! thank you eagle, you've made my day!
