Through the Eyes of Binoculars

Welcome~

Hello! Thanks for visiting our blog. We're 2 newly-minted-teenage sisters who recently got into bird watching, especially since just outside our balcony is a sliver of forest in the middle of urban Singapore! Taking up the hobby has opened our eyes - it's become almost instinct for us to notice the stray Pink-necked Green Pigeon around our city streets and appreciate even the common Javan Mynah. Remember to check out Journey and In Plain Sight for more about us! Comments are always appreciated! We hope to update our blog as we experience more bird encounters on our balcony. We want to share these amazing and sometimes surprising moments and hope you will enjoy our photos as much as we have enjoyed taking them. Perhaps you will get a chance for some bird spotting yourself outside your balcony, window or wherever you are. Have fun spotting!
