Is it a plane? Is it a cloud? It is the olive-backed Sunbird!!

This bird is commonly found in Pasir Ris. Especially in my roof garden!

This species loves my ixora and bougainvillea plants.

The sunbirds has a curved beak and specially adapted tongue allow it to suck nectars from flowers.

SBWR , rare sight ! (To me)

White collared Kingfisher
I managed to have a shot of it. It has a white neck, that is how the bird gets its name.
It feeds on fish, crabs, lizards and insects.
What a rare sight!
