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.

My 3rd time meeting this beauty. And this one is very sociable. Not running away. Will do it's own thing so long as photographer do not get too close. At last, I have got my dose of Blue-winged pitta.

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.

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.
