ALCEDINIDAE / KINGFISHER / IJSVOGEL
Once the animal is on paper I can let my mind go free and draw whatever pattern comes up to me. It’s like meditation.

Happy to see the Stork-billed Kingfisher (Pelargopsis capensis) at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 24 Dec 2021. It was a challenge trying to find a spot that would give me a reasonable view of it. Fortunately, it remained perched there for a while: long enough for me to show it to others passing by, who were delighted to see it also.

My second encounter with a Stork-billed Kingfisher (Pelargopsis capensis), this time just a few metres away on a railing at the Pandan River, Singapore. Spotted on 25 April 2019.

The Stork-billed Kingfisher is not as common here compared to other kingfishers.

Happy. My first sighting of the Stork-billed Kingfisher (Pelargopsis capensis). I've only recorded sightings of the Collared and White-throated Kingfishers up to now, so to see a different kind of Kingfisher is exciting.

Spotted at Pasir Ris Park, Singapore, on 31 March 2019.

Listed as an Uncommon resident.
