In the last few days, folks from birdwatchers to shutterbugs to curious onlookers have been flocking to Telok Blangah to take pictures of a family of owls — a mother and two babies — nestled in the hollow of a tree next to a bus stop.  The Sunda Scops owls, a common resident in Singapore, can usually be found at Bukit Batok Nature Park, Central Catchment Forest, Pasir Ris Park and many more locations, according to the Bird Society of Singapore. But the crowds have reportedly also caused some inconvenience to road users. A TikTok video uploaded on Tuesday (May 7) shows a large group of people — many with telephoto cameras and tripods set up — packed onto the grass patch next to the tree and road. Although there is a guard rail, some people have spilled out onto the side of the road. In the same video, which was shot on Tuesday evening, people with camera equipment are standing on the short dividers on the road. «All these inconsiderate people causing a nuisance to road users just to take photos of baby owls,» a TikTok user said.
