Lineated Barbet. (Can you spot me in the third photo?) . When I went to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Singapore I came across a group of photographers all waiting and pointing their long lenses at one particular tree. . I asked them what they were looking at and it turned out to be this little fellow who had his head sticking out of the tree. . They were all waiting to photograph the bird flying out of the hole, and coming back with some food for the family. . I was not prepared to wait around since I didn’t have my 800mm nor a tripod—and one of them even joked and said I would not want to wait around without a tripod since it would take a while for the bird to fly back. . I continued my walk through the park and about an hour or so later I encountered the same group still in the same spot, waiting for the bird to come back. . Most of them had been there for several hours already, trying to capture this elusive bird. After peaking at some of the photos they took, it had me even wanting to stay there to see if I could catch him flying back. I couldn’t this time around but that just means I have to come back another time…right? . This is a non-native bird to Singapore, originating in Southeast Asia. .
