Orange-bellied Flowerpecker

Orange-bellied Flowerpecker, Male.
Spotted at Singapore Quarry @ Feb 2023.
Though listed as a common resident in Singapore, it is not common to sight them. 
While all birders where waiting for the Grey-headed Fish eagle to dive, this flowerpecker loud calls directed all of us to take a picture of it. Because of this, everyone missed the dive by the GHFE behind us. LOL.

It was a lifer for me when I spotted it at Dairy Farm Nature park in Feb 2022. However, the bird is always far away, so no luck in capturing a good picture of it.

Thomson Nature Park @ 2 May 2022.
It was perched on a low flowering plant at the door of the toilet.
Imagine being greeted by a colourful bird when you just come out of the toilet? Caught unprepared.

Lucky the bird was super busy with its food. I tried not to move much, so not to scare off the bird.

Orange-bellied Flowerpecker, Female.
Spotted at Thomson Nature Park @ 2 May 2022.
The female is left here after the male left the spot (cause another birder got too close).
