D500 visits Pulau Ubin's birds
5

It's been months since I last went birding with my dear D500, but it finally saw some action today. It was awfully hot (more than 30 degree Celsius), but I was lucky to grab some shots (alongside with my friend who spotted some of the birds).

All of them were taken with the 200-500, while the last photo was taken with the 18-300.

We started the journey by seeing  some Pacific Swallow.

We then came across this Oriental Magpie-Robin who enjoyed the shade under the scorching sun.

We were also very lucky to spot the white-rumped shama, although the lighting conditions were less than ideal.

There were also a couple of white-bellied sea eagle at the Chek Jawa Wetlands. There were more than 20 photographers waiting for it to land on branch, and I happened to a couple of them using the new Nikon Z9.

We were astonished to come across this large-tailed nightjar which was resting about only 20m away from the bridge. Not sure if it's sleeping with its eyes opened.

We ended the day and the shoot with a brown-throated sunbird chasing a female sunbird.
