Yesterday I revisited the Chinese-Japanese Gardens & Jurong Lake and was rewarded by capturing a pelican
frolicking with storks, herons & other waders at the wetland left behind after the Jurong lake was drained for construction work

All pics were taken with A350, SAL75-300mm handheld & minimal pp.

C&C welcome.

The good thing about the draining of the lake is that mud banks were created......somewhat similar to SBWR with many puddles with trapped fishers.

Though the water was not so deep. it bend it's head as parallel to the surface to scoop the ltiitle fishes.

I was easily out-gunned by these two Bros whom I did not get to know their names.....
Some 4-5 photographers managed to shoot the pelican.

Another 2-3 (including a female) were too overly focused (in my opinion),at some colorful bird building it's nest near a pagoda....
I think the bird would have been stressed by the three just below it's chosen spot for almost an hour.
