Mistletoebird of Royal Park

Mistletoebird (Female)

Until recently, this female Mistletoebird has shown up at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore every time I visited. This photograph was taken on 1 June 2024. I am not sure if she has moved on to better feeding grounds or she is still lurking around. Hopeful, she would come back soon.

Little Eagle soaring over Royal Park

Little Eagle

I was very fortunate to have witnessed two Little Eagles (light morphs) soaring over the Skink Habitant at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore on 31 May 2024. One of them came very close and banked right, thereby, catching the sunlight and provided me with an opportunity to capture the photograph above.

Superb Fairywren

Superb Fairywren (Male)

This photograph of a male Superb Fairywren was taken on 18 Dec 2024 at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore. I like this shot because it features the bird in the foreground but more importantly, the habitat is portrayed in layers. Some will argue that the blade of grass in the foreground is distracting but I think it adds to the authenticity of image as it depicts the bird in its natural surroundings.

Reviving this site

Common Starling

I was looking for a place to display my photographs. After looking at Facebook, Instagram and other Social Media platforms, I have decided that these platform offers little or no protection for the copyright of these images.

I was originally looking to decommission this site when I rebuilt my server. Given that I have a need to post my photos, I have decided to migrate this site to my new server. Apart from ebird.org, I will be posting the photographs that I find interesting to this site in the future. As a differentiation from ebird.org, I will also post other genre of photography on this site.

The photograph above was taken in the morning of Thursday 2 May 2024 in Royal Park. I like this photograph more than I really should. It is a photograph of an introduced species (Common Starling) occupying a nest box in Royal Park.
