Oriental Darter

 A rare non-breeding visitor. Usually can be sighted during migratory season.

A near threaten bird.

Extreamly huge bird. About 2 to 3 feet big.
Not helping when it now perched further away since the tree in the middle of the pond is dead. This is my best picture.

When it spread its wing, it look just like the Empress of the China kingdom.

It was perched in the middle of the quarry. I need to zoom in to see its beauty.
