Choosing Nature Photography - Birding

I have great respect for nature. I always felt that more can be done to preserve the flora and fauna of Singapore. This tiny Island of ours is never a boring place to live in. It is ancient and it is rich with biodiversity only until the last 100 years or so. More should be done to conserve what is left. And just in case the younger generation didnt know what inhabits this Island besides the humans, I will collect whatever evidences i can find in terms of pictures and perhaps some anecdotal records.

among the creatures that are surviving the great singapore extinction event are the birds. though they are never immuned to it. I will try to photograph the birds I can spot wherever and whenever possible. Birds are simply amazing. Their tiny size defies the challenges they face namely, loss of natural habitat, hunting, lack of food supply, diseases and invasive species. they taught me how to be patient and be persistent in facing gargantuan challenges in life. If tiny birds cand do it, so can we.
