WATCH THE BIRDIE

ANZA Click flew the coop to take some shots at Singapore’s Jurong Bird Park before it relocated. Evidently, there are no booby prizes for these incredible pics!

“Singapore life can get very hectic. It was nice to take a break and enjoy the gardens, zoo and bird park and get back to nature. I love photographing the animals I find on my walks.”

“Photographing birds is not easy as they’re constantly moving and twitching. I took at least 20 images per bird to get the perfect shot! It was lovely to visit the Jurong Bird Park on the last day, before the birds embarked on the very delicate journey to their new home. I spoke in depth to one of the rangers about their transition, and he mentioned it could take up to six months to successfully and very carefully move all the birds across. Wishing the birds much happiness in their new home!”
