A rare forest butterfly, this butterfly tends to hop about. Fortunately, it kept still while feeding from a small puddle, before hopping off back into the forest.

Glad I decided to go there after it rained in the morning. The Green Imperial is a rare forest butterfly; and a beautiful one too.

These bees are like cuckoo birds, laying their eggs in the nest of other bees.

A Common Tit (Hypolycaena erylus) taken while walking along Clementi Road, Singapore, on 9 Nov 2019. Spotted this one by chance when I looked up and saw it resting quietly on this leaf.

Not the first time I've taken a shot of a Ciliate Blue (Anthene emolus), but I find this shot quite nice, with the butterfly in front of a plain background. Taken while walking along Clementi Road, Singapore, on 9 Nov 2019.

Another up close shot. This time, with a large adult Malayan Water Monitor (Varanus salvator). This one was just behind a fence at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore. Photos taken on 27 Oct 2019.

Up close and personal with this Broad-handed Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa latipes) at Pulau Ubin, Singapore, on 26 Oct 2019. It kept returning to this perch so only some patient waiting was needed to get the shots.
A large solitary bee, it isn't aggressive and as long as you don't threaten it (like waving and attempting to smack it), it will rather just fly around you.

A Yellow-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier) spotted feeding on a nearby tree at the Pandan River, Singapore, on 15 Oct 2019. I've taken shots of these birds in the past but these ones came out quite well, I think.

Got startled by a bird call next to me at the Pandan River, Singapore. Turned and was delighted to see this male Common Flameback woodpecker (Dinopium javanense) on the tree. It was busy looking for food and calling out and paid no heed to the excited photographer nearby. :-) Shots taken on 15 Oct 2019.

A Lineated Barbet (Psilopogon lineatus) spotted at Jurong Eco Garden, Singapore, on 12 Oct 2019. There were two in the trees but only managed to get shots of one.
It is an uncommon introduced resident bird.

The Grey-headed Fish-Eagle (Haliaeetus ichthyaetus) at the Pandan River, Singapore, was resting on this branch that hangs over the river. Happy with the chance to get better shots of it. Taken on 8 Oct 2019.

A Crescent Threadtail (Prodasineura notostigma) spotted at Windsor Nature Park on 6 Oct 2019.
A small damselfly, this one was sensitive to my movement and frequently took off. I had to keep still and let it return to its perch before I could take the shots.

Saw the Black-throated Sunbird (Aethopyga saturata) several times during our stay at Fraser's Hill, Malaysia. But like other sunbirds I've seen, they don't make it easy to get shots, constantly moving about under the shade of branches while calling and feeding.
At least this fellow was willing to stay in one place for long enough to get some shots. Taken on 18 Nov 2018.
