Back to birds, sometime back, I heard a bird making an aweful 'aw aw' sound, not unlike that of crows, and that made me curious to locate it, but this bird was quite alert when seeing a strange guy trying to locate him, and at once stopped his 'awing'. Later I managed to spot it hiding among the high branches. It was quite a large elusive bird with yellow and black feathers, probably belonging to the canary family. So curiosity eventually killed the 'cat'.Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489706873295639555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-41738467249777327082008-09-29T21:30:00.000+08:002008-09-29T21:30:00.000+08:00Yesterday, afternoon it was here again; but downst...Yesterday, afternoon it was here again; but downstairs.

From the photo it looks big that's all.<BR/><BR/>Btw, if you want to see Kingfisher, you can go to the Kallang River at Bishan Park near your house. I have often see them there.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-41190277331357994082008-09-29T20:56:00.000+08:002008-09-29T20:56:00.000+08:00I love bird watching except minus the patience whi...I love bird watching except minus the patience which I once had during the kampong days. In those days, my favourite bird to watch was the fishing pond kingfisher, a bird with a sharp beak - quite lengthy, and had a gloss of blue-black-white feathers. Its size was slightly smaller to the red bird perching on chun see's window railing. The characteristic of this kingfisher was that it could stand very still on a branch of a small plant overing hanging the pond. It had great patience and stillness and when small fishes appeared on the water surface, it would swoop down quickly to pick up its victim very neatly off the water. The attractive red bird surveying chun see room was apparently a curious one being distracted by a certain object inside the room and could have wondered whether it was eatable or not.Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489706873295639555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-12154421143063738782008-09-28T23:59:00.000+08:002008-09-28T23:59:00.000+08:00Beautiful bird.....wonderful Mother Nature at work...Beautiful bird.....<BR/><BR/>wonderful Mother Nature at work<BR/><BR/>DSEAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-39137493924411836252008-09-28T22:40:00.000+08:002008-09-28T22:40:00.000+08:00When I read the title of this article and the firs...When I read the title of this article and the first few sentences, I thought you were talking about one of your regular readers. :)Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.com
