Careless Birds

"Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds" - Matt 6:26 (The Message).

Yet another posting on bird photography :). A few weeks ago I had a lucky break... One of my dream shots is to capture a close-up photo of a kingfisher. So far, my efforts at Sg Buloh have not been very successful as the birds are usually too far away... But I had a windfall whilst visiting the zoo. I chanced upon a stork-billed kingfisher on a nice perch which is less than 10 feet away. Hence, I was able to take many close-up shots... and for bonus, the bird caught and ate two live ornamental fishes (which were released earlier by two elderly photographers to bait the bird).
