It's my birthday today, 7 Feb 2021, and nature indulged me by giving me a look at a local rarity, the Lesser Mousedeer (Tragulus kanchil). Spotted at Chestnut Nature Park, Singapore. Such a nice present. :-)
The Lesser Mousedeer is considered 'Critically Endangered' and in local folklore is considered a crafty creature ("Sang Kanchil' in Bahasa Malaysia).

Interrupted someone at their lunch time.
Not sure if this is a sharp-shinned hawk or Cooper's hawk. Hopefully someone at iNaturalist will correctly identify the bird!
My first sighting of a Sumatran Gem (Poritia sumatrae) this morning (18 Oct 2020) at Upper Seletar Park Reservoir.
For a cloudy morning without many butterflies to be seen, this was a gem of a spotting. π
The Sumatran Gem is a moderately rare butterfly that can be found in forested areas.

A pair of mating Common Four-Rings (Ypthima huebneri) spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 19 July, 2020. The Ring butterflies were out in force on that day: lots of them spotted all along the path during our walk.
