Lucky shot! 2 birds in 1
Lens: Sigma 500/F4.5 Camera: Pentax K5 
Posted By: kengoh, 12-13-2012, 10:38 PM

A Blue-tailed Bee-eater & a Common Kingfisher both captured in a frame.


When the 2 birds meet.... by kengoh8888, on Flickr

*Common KF is the name of the kingfisher, not really common bird in Singapore here, both are migratory birds.

Thanks for viewing.

Good luck tends to happen to the well-prepared. Super shot, both birds beautifully sharp, symmetrical poses, and what looks like an interesting conversation going on.
