Planet Earth 3: Forests

So the forest episode is...good. There's not much I want to say about it. It's not a bad episode, it just feels kind of not very memorable. And I hate saying this cuz the segment with the Temminck's tragopan is amazing it probably took the crew weeks in the bird tent to capture that. And the segment with the Kermode bear also mentioned salmon nutrient subsidy which is great. But besides those, this episode is just a lot less packed compared to the others, especially with only six segments. I do still love the behind the scenes where they document the community in Uganda living alongside chimpanzees though, building or reconnecting relationships with nature is what we need right now and is what I want to see in these documentaries.

7/10

Making up oc's in my head based on birds I like..

I don't have much so far but here they are if you car.... the Oriental pied hornbill is my self insert his name is Wyren but sometimes nicknamed Wren cuz i like to be called my own name gahahhaa

he has a friend based on the nightjar her name is Gemini nicknamed Mini cuz... nightjar are smol.... Wyren and Gemini like to search for conspiracy creatures for fun but ghosts started to appear but Wyren doesn't want to admit hes scared of them and he still gets dragged to ghost hunt and cant sleep

Silas is a biker based on rhinoceros hornbill uhrm he's that stoic guy trope but he has his soft spots... maybe he tried boxing at one point and there's this guy based on the Philippine eagle whos way tougher

idk what the story is I just make up images in my head..

Paradise flycatcher is a dancer (the long tail on the bird are like the ribbons part of his design), his partner in dance is based on greater racket tailed drongo,.... They're exes maybe...

One of my favs..! Luzon bleeding heart is an artist.. Think those beaded necklaces with red beads like blood yeah I think they're a fashion student maybe, I also think they help to run a bookshop.. A massive introvert and writes poetry

Keel-billed toucan has like a retro style going on.. He either roller skates or skateboards idk.. He has a sibling based on the firey-billed aracari they both have that..raccoon dyed hair idk what it's called but they're very cool.. Keel-billed toucan guy is sunshine trope

Ok yah that's it I wanna draw them but they'll probbaly look better in my head and I have no time to draw now 💀💀

#yerp #lowkey they have otome game love interest tropes #which was unintentional #maybe the ghost hunting is the plot #sorry I didn't include pics of the birds....

I love how weird and different animals can get, even if they’re technically the same type of animal. Like, take hornbills for example.

We have here an Oriental Pied Hornbill.

We have the Rhinoceros Hornbill over here, stylish as ever.

And then we have the Helmeted Hornbill.

Meet the strange-looking bird making a spectacular recovery amid the skyscrapers of Singapore

Wildlife conservation film-maker and photographer, Tim Plowden, explores the return of the remarkable oriental pied hornbill. Singapore has long had a reputation as one of the world’s greenest cities. Following independence from Malaysia almost 60 years ago, efforts began to transform this island nation into a ‘garden city’. Greenery adorns buildings in Singapore making it […]

Beakuency December 2023: The Wren Day, and looking back the 1st year of Beakuency

Listen to this episode HERE!

Photo: St Stephen's Day, Wren Boys : Three wren boys in road, Athea, Co. Limerick. (1947) from UCD Digital Library. "The custom of hunting the wren on St. Stephen's day is known throughout most of Ireland. Groups of people dressed in disguise go from house to house, singing and playing music and asking for money in return. In former times the wren-boys carried a dead wren on a bush and asked for money to "bury the wren".

Happy Wren Day! The December episode of Beakuency featured “The Wren Song” by The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Mackem, and two “Hunt the Wren” recordings: instrumental version by Manx Folk Dance Society, and a song version by Sharron Kraus.

It has been one year for this radio program Beakuency. I have learned a lot from every local bird person I spoke with for this show, but particularly inspiring were the conversations with biologists. So we listen back to excerpts from two interviews with them: Anne Bloomfield of Hudson Valley Farm Hub, and Erik Kiviat of Hudsonia.

Listen to the full interviews:

Anne Bloomfield on Beakuency March 2023 episode

Erik Kiviat on Beakuency September 2023 episode

Also on the show: bird-inspired music released in 2023, including “Birds of Spring” by Simon Joyner, Michael Krassner & Fred Lonberg Holm, “The Dream Island Of Birds” by Mike Cooper, “Pigeon Tones for Eggflute” by Ecka Mordecai & Malvern Brume from a bird-inspired compilation Synthetic Bird Music (Mappa 2023), and Jim Denley “With Weather Volume 2: Gadigal Country” (Splitrec 2023).

Branches of Singapore: Where History and Nature Coexist

When it comes to exploring the vibrant and diverse city-state of Singapore, most people immediately think of its iconic skyline, bustling shopping districts, and delectable street food. However, Singapore has a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed by tourists and even some locals – its lush and historically significant branches. These natural sanctuaries, often overshadowed by the modernity of the city, offer a unique blend of history and nature that is truly remarkable.

Exploring the Verdant Oasis of MacRitchie Reservoir

MacRitchie Reservoir, located in the heart of Singapore, is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of history and nature. Established in 1868, it is not Branches Of Singapore only one of Singapore's oldest reservoirs but also a hub for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. As you step onto the boardwalk that surrounds the reservoir, you'll immediately feel a sense of tranquility that is a world away from the urban hustle and bustle.

Nature's Abundance: MacRitchie Reservoir boasts a sprawling forested area, part of Singapore's Central Catchment Nature Reserve. This lush rainforest is home to diverse flora and fauna, including rare bird species like the Oriental Pied Hornbill and the vibrant Malayan Colugo. Nature lovers will revel in the opportunity to spot wildlife while hiking the well-maintained trails.

Historical Significance: Beyond its natural beauty, MacRitchie Reservoir has historical significance. During World War II, the reservoir served as a pivotal source of freshwater for the island. Today, remnants of the past, including the iconic MacRitchie Reservoir TreeTop Walk, remind visitors of Singapore's resilience during challenging times.

Unveiling the Mystique of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

For those seeking a deeper connection with Singapore's history and natural wonders, a visit to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is a must. This reserve is particularly significant as it encompasses Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore's highest natural point, and has a rich history intertwined with its ecological diversity.

A Natural Wonderland: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve boasts an astounding variety of plant and animal species, with the reserve being home to some of the rarest orchids in the world. For avid hikers and trekkers, the network of trails provides a challenging yet rewarding experience, culminating in panoramic views from the summit of Bukit Timah Hill.

Historical Ties: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve has a unique historical background. During World War II, it was the site of intense fighting between Allied forces and the invading Japanese army. Today, remnants of the war, such as military bunkers and tunnels, stand as solemn reminders of the past.

Immersing in the Cultural Heritage of Pulau Ubin

Venture a little further from the mainland, and you'll discover Pulau Ubin, an idyllic island that has preserved the rustic charm of Singapore's past. This island, with its laid-back atmosphere and unspoiled natural beauty, offers a glimpse into the historical and cultural tapestry of the region.

A Step Back in Time: Pulau Ubin's rustic landscapes and traditional villages evoke nostalgia for an era long gone. The island's "kampungs" (villages) feature traditional Malay houses and a slower pace of life, providing a stark contrast to the urban metropolis just a boat ride away.

Natural Haven: While exploring Pulau Ubin, you can delve into its lush mangrove forests, tranquil beaches, and rich biodiversity. The island is a haven for birdwatchers, with a plethora of migratory birds visiting seasonally. It also features the Chek Jawa Wetlands, a unique coastal ecosystem teeming with marine life.

The Enigmatic Beauty of Labrador Nature Reserve

Situated along the southern coast of Singapore, Labrador Nature Reserve is a lesser-known gem that seamlessly blends nature, history, and panoramic coastal views. Established on the site of a former British naval base, the reserve has an intriguing past.

Coastal Splendor: Labrador Nature Reserve offers breathtaking vistas of the South China Sea, making it a prime spot for sunset enthusiasts and photographers. Stroll along the boardwalks and you'll encounter rich marine life, including resident horseshoe crabs.

Historical Relics: The reserve's history is intertwined with its coastal defenses. Explore World War II relics, such as the preserved machine gun post, artillery guns, and tunnels. These remnants tell the story of Singapore's wartime experiences and its strategic importance.

Conclusion: Where History and Nature Thrive Together

Singapore's branches are not merely green spaces but living testaments to the city-state's commitment to preserving its natural heritage and honoring its history. From the tranquil MacRitchie Reservoir to the rustic charm of Pulau Ubin, and the enigmatic beauty of Labrador Nature Reserve, these sanctuaries offer a glimpse into a side of Singapore that often remains hidden.

As we immerse ourselves in the lush greenery, historical relics, and vibrant ecosystems, we are reminded that history and nature are not separate entities but rather intertwined, each enhancing the beauty and significance of the other. These branches are a testament to Singapore's dedication to maintaining a delicate balance between progress and preservation, ensuring that the past and present coexist harmoniously in this thriving city-state.

So, the next time you find yourself in Singapore, take a detour from the usual tourist hotspots and venture into these branches, where history and nature coexist in perfect harmony, waiting to be explored and appreciated by all who seek a deeper connection with this remarkable island nation.
