Home sweet home....

I was on my way to work when I discovered this little gem. The nest is around knee level just beside a starcase!!! Would've gotten close if it didn't fly away....

Wow! Great find!

What kinda bird is this?

while isomers007 has a BG built into her home, you have a JBP...no need to go all the way to Jurong to shoot these homebuilders already!

If it is a nest, is there any eggs inside?

Nice shot.

its a humming bird. The pic is quite grainy, did you used a high ISO?

used a high ISO and did some level correction (which increased the graininess). it's taken in the morning when there isn't much light. it's cropped from the original image.

besides the hummingbird, there're other birds too. I found this yellow one in the trees nearby.... (also cropped from original image, 320mm is not enough, I didn't have my C-210 with me then).

Thanks would check out whether the nest is still there. saw a worker trimming the bushes nearby though a few days back.... hope he didn't destroy the nest.
