Public transport from that part of town went nowhere near anywhere I wanted to be, so I slept in and took a mid-morning stroll around the neighbourhood. A pair of nesting Downy Woodpeckers were the highlight of the walk and I wanted to share them with you.

It is home to almost a hundred bird species, including woodpeckers and songbirds.

In two months they will depart for valleys, leaving the bare branches bare of birds, too – apart from woodpeckers – but for now they are in the forest.

These goods, purchased with Mexican silver, would then be transported overland through Mexico City, and shipped from Veracruz to Spain.

Another really good feature of Singapore is the excellent public transport system. The dense trees close to the river offered Collared Kingfishers and Sunda Pygmy Woodpecker.
