I got to take a break from the Masai Mara post and post my birding Singapore trip on new year eve. Is been a while since I last visited Chinese Garden. Will go back to continue my encounter in Masai Mara later.
White-breasted waterhen standing on top of the rock welcoming me to Chinese Garden after almost a year.
This Grey Heron chick almost reach the adulthood and still begging for food.
This Asian koel have no problem swallow a huge fruit, just look at the throat!
Follow the unique call of the coppersmith barbet, after some search, managed to find it up on the tree.
Found this Brown-throated sunbird at its usual place.
The female bird without the striking colour compare with the male.
Olive-backed sunbird make an appearance too.
Stork-billed kingfisher hide deep in the foliage waiting for opportunity to hunt for the fish below.
A almost perfect pose with the natural frame from the foliage.
Another reason to visit Chinese Garden during this period is to be able to see migratory birds such as this brown shrike.
A pair of blue-tailed bee-eater having a vantage point actively looking for their target (flying insects)
Another difficult bird to photograph, Pied Fantail. Non stop moving from one spot to another actively hunting for food.
This is an easy target, I can get to very close to have the photo of this zebra dove taken.
Is rather uncommon to see a Yellow bittern in the open.
Just before I call it a day, saw this Plantain Squirrel feeding on the ground. Not a bad trip and able to see so many birds in less than 2 hours!
