Sunda Scops Owl raised up it’s short ear create an unique V shape expression. Although it looks a bit fierce but still very cute. 😊

Sunda Scops Owl overload of cuteness! This is the 4th species of Owl I have spotted in Singapore so far. Very surprise to see that they are so tiny and mini size! From what I have learned they grows from 20 to 25 cm and can weigh 100 to 170 grams only. When I spotted the Sunda Scops Owl, its resting in a very low light and hidden place , have to use very slow shutter speed to capture it quietly and I am glad can capture sharp and fine details photo for this species. It rest most of the time and I am lucky enough to see it open it’s beautiful eyes for a very short period of time. The Sunda Scops Owl is so adorable with their very big, round and dark eyes and mini size body! 😊

The beautiful Blue-rumped Parrot enjoying the star fruit excitingly! It’s amazing to see how he use one leg to serve as hand and hold the star fruit firmly like human.😊

“This is mine!” The beautiful Blue-rumped Parrot picking it’s favourite starfruit ! The facial expression looks like he is smiling and very excited when he approach the starfruit😊

Blue-rumped Parrot resting and enjoy a bit of sunlight. I purposely dim a bit of the brightness of the photo , it helps to bring out the sunlight reflected on it’s eyes and tail, make the Blue-rumped Parrot stand out beautifully! 😊

Blue-rumped Parrot enjoying the starfruit! This is the male and it has beautiful blue head and rump, reddish shoulder patch and colourful feathers at the wings too. This is the beautiful back view which most of the photographer are aiming for. It’s also a uncommon resident in Singapore and classified as Near Threatened species in IUCN red list. The environment where it stand is very low light and I am glad can capture it handheld with very low shutter speed 😊

Lineated Barbet food in mouth and take off beautifully! 😊

Another angle to see how the Lineated Barbet throw the fruit before swallowing it 😊

Can you see where is the Lineated Barbet ? The Lineated Barbet blends in to the environment so well with the green wings looks like the tree leaves and the body pattern looks very similar to the branch it perched. If the barbet didn’t move I am sure I can’t spot it. The Lineated Barbet is the uncommon introduced resident in Singapore, glad to see them in the wild. This is the moment when the barbet throw the fruit in the air before it swallow it. Interesting behaviour like bee-eater. 😊
