That is not a common kingfisher, its a white collared kingfisher (Halcyon chloris)

[fotoboy]

Yes, that's a White Collared Kingfisher. Common Kingfisher is actually not too common in Singapore.

BTW, for nature photography, we will usually try to avoid manmade object. Other than that a fill flash will bring out more details of the bird and you will get nice catchlight in its eye.

ya, is a White Collared Kingfisher...think too blur n ID wrongly..paiseh

humm...I think there is some slight hand shake and lacks details. Good try on a PnS. For bird catching, I think a 300mm lens will be great.
