Lower Peirce Reservoir
North, Singapore
March 2014
Lower Peirce Reservoir welcomed an uncommon visitor last weekend. It was a visitor that drew droves of bird photographers tracking its every move after a posting on a bird sighting forum.
There were two of them - One near the reservoir and the other near a stream. Each photographer was patiently still, moving only to click the shutter for yet another perfect shot.
And being the performer that it was, this Pitta moluccensis (Blue-Winged Pitta) played around with everyone, first hopping about in enjoyment, looking at everything around it, then pecking playfully at a log.
The photos are taken off a scope with a mobile phone camera,
generously lent by a friendly birdwatcher...
(Thank you, my friend!)
