Endangered white-crowned hornbill spotted in Pulau Ubin


The white-crowned hornbill is not a migratory species and lives in the tropical rainforests of neighbouring countries. - ANDY CHEW

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): When news of an endangered white-crowned hornbill began circulating on Sunday in one of Andy Chew’s chat groups, the 51-year-old made a beeline for Pulau Ubin, where the bird had been spotted.

“I was actually hesitant to head over due to the distance... but knowing that the hornbill is a rare bird, I decided to go ahead,” said Chew, who was out photographing birds at Pasir Panjang when he got the alert.
