Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Such a treat seeing these Kentish Plovers scurrying along the beach in search of breakfast. #birds #birding #bird 050
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Whimsical Whimbrel: Just seeing an Eurasian Whimbrel wading along the beach brings me joy. #birds #birding #bird #eurasianwhimbrel 051
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Poetry in broad strokes: Broad wings, dramatic turns and effortless control – the Pacific reef heron makes every move look beautiful. #birds #birding #bird #pacificreefheron 0154

Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Never realised that great mynas also have great personalities. #birds #birding #bird #myna 081
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The enemy within: This brown-throated sunbird has found an intruder on its turf. Strangely, the fellow seems equally unwilling to back down. #birds #birding #bird 060
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Turning the tables with talons out: This is now an all-too-common sight in Singapore. Quite heartened in this instance to see the brahminy kite turning the tables on the crows. #birds #birding #brahminykite 0120
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Had a talon-ted visitor yesterday morning that circled constantly, eyeing me curiously. 🦅 Can’t be sure of the species of raptor — can the experts weigh in? #bird #birding #birds 170
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 20/10/2025The artistry of birds in flight: Olive-backed sunbird. #birds #bird #birding 170
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 19/10/2025It may seem like this sassy olive-backed sunbird is cheekily winking at me, but I suspect the poor thing has an issue with its left eye. #bird #birds #birding 080

Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Some shots of the beautiful #brahminykite that gracefully soared by, unperturbed by the fighter jets that were whizzing by at the time. #birds #bird #birding 060
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 09/08/2025A meeting of fighting falcons: A composite of two photos taken from the same spot, minutes apart.

Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Moo-ving though the blue ocean: Was about to take it for granted that this was some sort of puffer. Am glad I checked first, because it’s actually a longhorn cowfish. #fish #marinelife #ocean 010

Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Aquaria Phuket is much more than an aquarium. It also features quite a few denizens of the scaly kind. #nature #reptiles #snakes 000

Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Breathtaking moments abound in Phuket, especially at blue hour when golden hues intermingle with rich azure to create pure magic. #beach #resort #travel #sunset 010
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 01/07/2025More BIF shots of the pacific reef heron on Nai Yang Beach, Phuket. To say that I took way too many photos is an understatement. #birdinflight #birds #bird #birding #nature 150
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 28/06/2025As much as I would like to take credit for how ethereal these sunrise photos turned out, the truth is that I was simply struggling with lens fogging in the wee hours of the morning at #naiyangbeach. Thankfully, I chose to #justkeepshooting. #sunrise #morning #photography 050
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 27/06/2025A few more shots of the pacific reef heron showing off its balletic grace on Nai Yang Beach, Phuket. #birds #bird #birding 070
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 24/06/2025Been a long while since I had a chance to indulge in #birding. Such a delight to spend a morning watching a pacific reef heron catching its breakfast. #birds #bird 070
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Further to my previous post, here’s a video of the curious disembodied ant head that is still able to move. Sped up 8x to make the movement more apparent. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to capture the times when the mandibles fully opened up. #bugsky #macro #ant 040
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Calling all insect experts: Found what I thought was a seed in my balcony, only to realise that it was an ant head. Studying it, I was shocked to see that it was still moving, with an orange growth pulsating in its mouth. Can anyone shed some light on this? #bugsky #macro #teamant 150

Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 30/04/2025One of the fascinating structures at #sentosasensoryscape, which I’ve just learnt is dubbed “Symphony Streams”. While I did not glimpse any light shows while I was there, I’m sure it would be a sight to behold. #sentosa #singapore #travel 020
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Wet weather usually means the sad demise of many moths. #bugsky #teammoth 040
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Is this a green #midge? If so, I’m surprised that we have these here in Singapore and that they are so vibrantly-patterned (for what, I believe, is often considered a pest). #bugsky #teammidge 0124
Ivan Yap @ivanyap.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Be-leaf it or not, the greater green leafbird’s neon hues give my camera sensor lots of challenges. #birds #birding 0151
