Such a wonderfully timed shot.

What a beautiful shot

Sadly they only look black under the shade. I think it's a snakefruit tree, doesn't really look like lychee

Didn't even notice till now, I think it's a snakefruit tree

It's taken in the Singapore Bird Park! Haha I guess they don't have too many options for natural looking bird baths.

They're native to the Kenya region, but I got this picture at the Singapore Bird Park

It started out as trying to photograph new species that I didn't find before (gotta catch 'em all).

After a while I accepted some are less common to see, and I shifted to trying to get better photos or different positions of familiar birds to improve my skills.

I think either approach works, whichever makes you happy with the hobby.

Very nicely timed photo!

Good to know that it wasn't done personally, but we should avoid encouraging this behaviour without the full story behind it.
