Blue-winged Pitta

 Although listed as uncommon migrant in https://singaporebirds.com/species/blue-winged-pitta/, there are reports from social media that people spotted them in their homes or dead bodies found during migration season. I supposed there should be a number of them that flew all the way from southwestern China, Indochina to here during winter season.

If the park worker did not went into the area, it would have came nearer where I can capture a better shot.

Quite glad I was able to meet it as I have never expect to see it on the day I visited.

I was actually looking for the Nightjar when this bird spotted me.

It kept still, did not move, took me some time to find it again.

The last sight of him before it went to the other side of the fence.
