Common Kingfisher, Singapore | Nikon Z9, 180-600mm (8K)

Visual: Get ready to meet the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)—a tiny, jewel-like bird that I had the privilege of filming at both Kranji Marshes and Yunnan Garden in Singapore this December 2024! With its striking blue and orange plumage and lightning-fast dives, this little bird is an absolute delight to watch. Here’s the kicker: despite its name, the Common Kingfisher isn’t so “common” in Singapore! These birds are more frequently spotted in temperate and tropical regions across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, making any sighting here extra special and ironic. Cool facts about the Common Kingfisher: 💡 They can see clearly underwater thanks to a third eyelid (nictitating membrane) that protects their eyes during a dive. 💡 These birds are territorial and defend their fishing spots fiercely—even against larger birds! 💡 A kingfisher’s diet isn’t just fish—they also hunt aquatic insects and even small amphibians. 💡 With their incredibly fast metabolism, they must eat their body weight in food every day to survive. #CommonKingfisher #WildlifeInSingapore #BirdWatching #NaturePhotography #KranjiMarshes #YunnanGarden (Filmed, edited and exported in 8k 30fps.
