Singapore Botanical Garden - Hooded Pitta


December 29 2010. I am currently having the Christmas Holiday with my family in Singapore. Yesterday I received news from some bird photographers that a Hooded Pitta is spotted at Singapore Botanical Garden.  I was invited to join them to photograph the Hooded Pitta together. Chris and Wong are very kind to lent me their gears since I only bought my Sony NEX 3 to Singapore. 
I am really surprise to see the Pitta at the Ginger Garden. The subject is very tame and not shy to human activities. Here are some photos shot with Chris equipment :

Thanks for reading.

    Hi Choo Eng,

    My friend told me that the Pitta will be here for 2 months, so high probabilities that the fella will be there in Feb.
