I finally had this fella captured into my sensor yesterday morning shortly after I done my sunrise photography in the Gardens by the Bay where the new hotel Marina Bay Sands Singapore is located. Your c&c would be helpful and appreciated.

It was formerly classed as a member of the Thrush family (Turdidae), but is now generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae).

A good angle of view on the first one. A good exposure and very sharp with a suitably blurred background that leaves some colours to isolate the bird. Well done.

Well done Walad, #1 is an excellent capture. Thanks for the information on the bird, to me it looks "Chat like" but I won't argue with the experts. What a large eye it has.

[Shadowman]
