Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)

Three kookaburras came to our yard again on a rainy afternoon! We fed them some cat mince, because that's all we had on hand, but if they become regulars, we'll move to a more appropriate food for them.

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.

There’s a kingfisher sitting on a branch. He’s surrounded by psychedelic patterns like circles and tubes and tiny cells. It’s 3 dimensional.

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.
