Grey Heron. Spotted this Grey Heron on the way to Chinese Garden. Watched it for some time, hoping to see it catches some fish but sadly, it didn't.

Coppersmith Barbet. New species!! It was resting on the branch of the tree rather high and far away. From the distance, we couldn't really see the colour and 'face' of the bird. After taking the photographs, Lele zoom in to happily announce that it's something we haven't being managed to capture. It looked ruffled and round ^^ Lele likes the colour of it.

Olived Blacked Sunbird.

Male: Lele didn't know that there's two of them in this photograph until Lele view it on the computer. Lele is happy!! The male bird are of brighter colour.

Female. A very cute pose by the female bird which is of a duller colour.

Pacific Swallow. The first photograph was taken right after we cross the 13 Arch Bridge. What a nice surprise to see the Pacific Swallow waiting for us!! A group of them was resting at the twin pagoda, the second photograph, gathering in pairs. They look loving though Lele didn't know whether they are gathered in couples or not.

Asian Glossy Starling. A group of birds can be heard on the tree near the 7 storey pagoda. We decided to climb up to the second storey to see. Turned out, most of them are GLossy Starling.They flew away rather fast after we tried taking some photographs and it was all quiet again.

Magpie Robin. We stalked this Robin in attempt to capture some clear photographs of it. Oops, looks like we are being discovered... Death stare at the second photograph... *sweat...
