Research In Motion Part 2

Harlequin · 22nd February 2004

Had the pleasure of 3 others CSBF members joining me today for an attack on land birds.

Started at 530am with a long trek into the wild side of Singapore.

All shots edited on my office laptop (probably not calibrated) , sitting at the SIA lounge, waiting for my flight.

Cheers ! CSBF members you know what to post liao !

Long Tail Shrike - Stalking this bird using small steps and camouflage techniques helped alot.

This Bee-Eater with a Orange Bee came as a surprise. Shot underneath a tree , with my knees on the hard ground.

All of us found a very good longkang where we were literally 5 metres away from the following birds.

Lastly this raptor came as a surprise. Juvenile WBSE ?

The bee eaters here eat wasp.

Your first shot and 4th shot is great. Lovely background in both.

You guys really had a fruitful RIM session. So many varieties of species...

Nice series, fantastic effort you've put in to capture these shots.

The Juv WBSE has taken a lot of damage on it's wings and tail, I guess it must have done battle with pack of crows.

Seems like they eat all sorts of flying insects too.
