ehh your kite shot looks nice leh.

btw that long yellow beak fella is hornbill also ah?

I like the owl he is doing this to u

nono, the hornbill comment was referring to the red beak one that was eating the meat. think it was camera shake cos it was 'rush job' to grab

btw Brian, your pictures damn sharp leh. Did you do any additional sharpening in PP?


Haha, I had my cam right up sticking to the fence. The owl didn't even bother opening both eyes, just open one eye look at me ...

From the head only, Im guessing that it's a Painted Stork

yeah just noticed that.



yes a bit. the original one was sharp enough already, like the close up for the parrot. after resize, i just enhance it with Photoshop's Smart Sharpen. Just very slightly.

after resize smaller, sure loss a bit of sharpness so i think slight sharpening is justified.

OK, here comes my crappy shots. Please pardon me, I'm still learning and shooting birds is not as easy as I thought. I only had 55-250mm with me and most of the shots were on its furthest zoom. Some blurred ya... And I don't know most of their breeds...

There is nothing to suprise off.
They are actually alot of these rich kids lugging around in Singapore.
Nowadays, I saw many young kids (maybe age 12-13) bringing a 7D or 5DMKII with L lens around Marina Bay, Orchard etc.

heeeeeeeey i didn't see this bird anywhere also ...

I also forgot where I found this fellow.
Don't even know which breed it is.

Likewise, I didn't see this bird also... From goldy's...

It was in a cage near the Parrot zone entrance

nice work there. need to be careful of background distractions.

i didn't post my stork pic cos compo i find too common, and that fella has mud on beak! bleh.

i got carried away with my parrot pic cos i love the colors. normally i'll just choose 1 of the subject cos not neccessary to repeat.
