Beskrivelse: Seen i a mix of mangrove and costal forest.
This is supposed to be ssp. <i>convexus</i> because of the almost all-white undertail. The Hornbills were almost gone from Singapore - now a mix of birds from north of the strait and brids from a local breeding project forms a slowly groving population (50-100 individuals?).. this bird had no ring as most of the breeding project birds have. Pasir Ris is very close to Malaysia where a more robust population is present.
Titel: Red junglefowl; Gallus gallus ssp. spadiceus; incl pull
Beskrivelse: The Red Junglefowl is not common in Singapore - but is known to breed at Pulau Ubin - very close to Pasir Ris. Lokal birders said 'scarce' to me. In Singapore there is also for many species a question of inter- or intra-breeding. Might be relevant here - but at the specific place of observation humans and their domestic 'fowls' were as far away as possible in crowded Singapore. Note the (at least) 3 very 'new chickens' (I did se 4 but can only find 3 on the 'rather bad shots :-))

Jeg er nok mere tilhænger af Javan Myna (A. javanicus) som er almindelig, men indført, i Singapore. Jungle Myna er ikke rigtigt en byfugl, og skulle også vise blå næbbasis.

Hej Jens.
Du har sikkert ret. Jeg må imdrømme, at jeg ikke har "boget" den. Hale, spytkrølle og jizz i almindelighed udelukkede blot Common M... Javan ligner jungle på alle måder denne fugl, bortset fra næbbasis.
