Oh!! Need to correct somthing...
This is common kingfisher, not white-throated ... It is a migratory bird, not so 'common' in singapore ...*information from starrynight, AWA*

Ya, i'm sore for missing this outing. Of all time the CKF is spoted when I'm not around. This fella had been evading me since its stop here around 2 months ago. Only saw it once in SBWR for a few seconds. so far no shot yet. One of these day i will go all out to hunt for this fella. Camo gear and overnight camping gears will be out..
Watch out for the Revenge of Deswitch

i was informed that this fella was at the "place" but I didnt make an efort to go there as its a bit far for me. My other location have sightings but so far have not seen him yet. This morning I saw 3 white throated perching on a fence and a colared KF nearby. Sometimes when you dont haveyr camera with you, they come out and tease you.
