4 more Tiger shots....Ideopsis vulgaris macrina (Blue Glassy Tiger), Danaus chrysippus chrysippus (Plain Tiger) & Danaus genutia genutia (Common Tiger).:cheers:
Birthday treat at GB, Chng? :)
Are you using the S150? Shots are sharp and well compose :thumbsup:
Oooh, finally make the jump?Quote:

Envy x 3.
Haha, Thks Loke. I was there this morning for breakfast with my wife and can't resists to shoot for a while. All shots were taken with S150 (without TC) except the first 2 shots in my last post. I'm beginning to understand this lens better but still got a lot to learn :PQuote:

Time to change nick to Vagrant, :bsmile::bsmile:
oh my goodness.
hard to shoot even in malaysia! It should be breeding on some Flacourtia in GBTB?
Probably that's where the Rustic came from too. I was surprised to see a forest butt out in GB!
i have seen Rustic also along changi coast road where Nparks planted some flacourtia beside the road.Quote:

Well done, Billy. You are the man :thumbsup:
Congrats, Billy!
I think this is beginner's luck. Spot it along the canal opposite the forested area - the place where we saw the tawny coster.
Thanks Khew for the id. At first with the top side I thought it was a rustic.
Billy,
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Finally get to use the computer after my wife finished watching her favourite Korean drama.
Thanks all for the congrats, the kind words, but most importantly, the guidance and encouragements over the last few months.
Xie xie, Terimah Kasih, Kum Siah.
Billy
A great find:thumbsup::thumbsup:.
I suspected this strong flying species might one day be seen again and so it did.
Many authorities now consider the western population from India to Sundaland to be Vagrans sinha, separated from the Papuan V. egista, so the taxon here would be Vagrans sinha macromalayana.
( Note: sinha, Sanskrit, same as singha ie. lion; type location Kashmir. )
TL Seow:cheers:
PS. The Yutaka website reduce ssp. macromalayana as a synonym of sinha, ie. V. sinha sinha extends all the way from India to the philippines.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hel/710140010.html
Congratulations on the wonderful find.
I wonder if the specimen is simply living up to its name and is a one-off, I hope not. With the planting of its hostplant in the area, it would be great for Singapore to get a breeding population.
What a brilliant find!!
Congrats Uncle Billy. It's beautiful.

Congrats, Cher Hern! :cheers: Not only a +1 for you, but I would add it as a +1 for the Singapore Checklist, with thanks to our newbie Billy Oh for spotting it first. It's a re-discovery cos it was on the early authors' checklist for Singapore. A butt of this pristine condition cannot have just migrated on its own steam. It probably hitchhiked on the Flacourtia plants that GB brought in from overseas. Let's hope that we see more of them, and that they are breeding on those Flacourtia trees. :redbounceQuote:

The subspecies macromalayana of Vagrans sinha is now a synonym of subspecies sinha.
Formerly ssp macromalayana covers Sundaland (ie. greater Malaya/Malaysia, old zoogeographical term) and the Philippines.
As with a strongly migratory species it is often impossible to differentiate between continental & insular forms.
Vagrans sinha sinha now extends from India to the philippines.
Yutaka website shows the distribution of V. sinha sinha.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hel/710140010.html
The Philippine websites only list V. sinha sinha. for example.
