    Pin-tailed or Swinhoe's Snipe - Singapore

    Hi Just like to find out whether this snipe could be ID from the photo. In Singapore, we only have 3 snipes - Pin-tailed, Swinhoe's and Common Snipe. As this snipe lacks the white trailing edge, it is not a Common Snipe. So it is either a Pin-tailed or Swinhoe's. As the image captured a...

    Jaeger ID - Singapore Straits

    This jaeger was shot at the Singapore Straits on 14 Oct 2018. Was initially thought to be a Parasitic Jaeger (or Arctic Skua). But could it be a Long-tailed Jaeger instead? Sorry for the poor image as the bird was pretty far away.

    Indian Paradise Flycatcher - which ssp?

    Pretty sure this is a Indian Paradis Flycatcher which was shot in Singapore. It could be the first sighting on this paradise flycatcher species in Singapore and even Southeast Asia. After the recent Asian Paradise Flycatcher split, the region only has Amur and Blyth's Paradise Flycatcher...

    I know its a crappy photo but in your opinion do you think it is more likely a Pin-tailed or Swinehoe's Snipe? Or we should just leave it as a Swintailed Snipe :)

    Jaeger ID - Straits of Singapore

    Shot this Jaeger at the Straits of Singapore today (4 Nov 2017). Am I right to say that it's a Parasitic Jaeger? Is it an adult in non-breeding plumage? If not, are we able to age this bird?

    Focusing problem with 1Dx 300mm f/2.8 IS II 2xTC III combo

    Hi I have started using the Canon 1Dx, 300mm f/2.8 IS II and 2xTC III combo and encountered problem shooting bird in flight using all focus points. For flight shots, I usually pre-set my focusing distance to 20 meters. When the subject appears and I get a blurry image on the viewfinder, the...

    These two jaegers were shot resting along the Straits of Singapore. The one on the yellow floating debris was shot on 19 Oct 2014 while the other on the white foam cover was from 23 Nov 2014. Based on the colour of their legs which were all or mostly black, I reckoned they were both adult...
