“Fish, I am coming!” The Common Kingfisher is dive into the canal to catch the fish after it finished his singing practice (my previous post). I use lower shutter speed to create a bit of blurish action effect at the edge of the wingspan looks nice as well😊

“Do-Re-Mi.....Mi-Re-Do....” The Common Kingfisher is practising the singing skill beside the canal. Or...perhaps this is the trick to attract the fish? 😆 Seldom see the Common Kingfisher open it’s mouth so wide and sing for a while. Such a beautiful winter visitor.😊

Grey Wagtail bird in flight take off moment , V-shape upstroke side view. This uncommon winter visitor can be observed in late July to March. Like the bright yellow vent.😊

Beautiful Geisha! I know this Zebra Finch is male...but the colorful body with unique gold cheek patch, red beak, Chestnut flank patch...I couldn’t help to link it with a beautiful Geisha especially when you look at him from front view directly . It’s so gorgeous 😊

Close up of the Zebra Finch. It paused for a short while and wondering which grass seed is better, gives me a good chance to take this close up photo and allow me to see more details of this lovely and beautiful bird 😊

Zebra Finch bird in flight “S”-style take-off moment! After bathing, it take-off after a short rest and looks like it’s twisting it’s wings and create the swirl line of the water drips out from it’s feather , a very unique scene 😊

The Zebra Finch (male) under the evening softer sunlight reflected it’s colourful feather even more nicer! Didn’t expect can see this beautiful bird in the wild, my understanding they are neither the resident nor winter visitor and most likely is escapee or released. They like to eat grass seeds, when I am there to observe them, they just non-stop looking for grass seeds to eat. In the photo you can see he is actually aiming at the grass seeds above him. What a cute bird and glad I am managed to capture their photos in the wild. 😊

By just flapping the wings on the surface of the water the female Cotton Pygmy Goose is able to lift it’s body up from the water and ready to take-off!😊

The female Cotton Pygmy Goose flapping it’s wings and creating some water splash moment when it’s about to do a short fly! Cotton Pygmy Goose is a rare winter visitor in Singapore, they do not dive and can take off from the water surface without having to run or patter on the surface. 😊
