Foto Friday - Wheels ( Car Thief )

On Saturday, the 7th of March 2009, my , Siu Wei, and I went for a hike along the Hilltop Walk situated at the top of Telok Blangah Hill in Singapore. As we passed a car park, we heard a strange tapping sound and, on investigation, we found out that the sound was due to a white-headed woodpecker trying to break into a car!



I could not understand why it would want to steal a set of wheels when it could simply fly to its destination. I mean what if it got stopped by the police? In Singapore, driving without a licence is a serious offence.

Excellent......I wonder if it was attracted to its own reflection in the car's finish? Thanks for the post.

Hi spot,

Can you please check with NZ immigration whether any Kea has left for Singapore in march 2009, maybe disguised as a woodpecker?

Hi Lynnnnn,

I am not sure but I think so. I overheard someone talking about a jailbird.
