The Asian Golden Weaver (Ploceus hypoxanthus)

May 18th, 2011

The Asian Golden Weaver (Ploceus hypoxanthus) is a species of bird in the Ploceidae family. It is found in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, swamps, and arable land. It is threatened by habitat loss. – Wikipedia

Over in Singapore, Asian Golden Weaver was found to be thriving in our nature parks and we believed it should be an escapee. It had attracted scores of photographers to the park as we have never seen these birds in the wild before. I hope it could survive and multiply down the road.
