Yellow Bittern On The Move


A visit to Garden By The Bay on 25 Dec 2021, I managed to capture an image of Male Yellow Bittern. The well-lit bird by the morning light had a very warm glow of colour.
The male bird usually has Blackish crown and upper tail-coverts, pale brownish mantle, yellowish-buff underparts with light streaks down fore neck and upper breast and blackish flight feathers that contrast sharply with pale buff wing coverts. Yellow Bittern is a common resident of grasslands and marshes near freshwater wetlands, well-vegetated ponds and mangroves.

Fortune Prayers


A number of photographic outings were conducted by Quanzhou Huaguang Vocational College
, Fujian, China, after the presentation of photographic awards for the awardees. This was the trip to the Temple of the God of the Sea. I like the lighting condition of the environment. Though the contrast of the image was great, the essential requirement was to capture sufficient details of light and shade. The story content further added interest to the image.
