been birding for about a year now and this is my 4th time eyeballing it and never so out in the open.
I like the first pix, it's like oops caught with his pants down that kind of expression...
Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.
Interesting bird! The first 2 picture looks over sharpened.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Hmm... Seriously, your pictures had shown me and I think a lot of others here that there are a lot more birds in Singapore other than the commonly seen mynahs, crows, pigeons, sparrows etc here...Originally Posted by mervin
