One morning (December 2025) Drinking coffee in my house (in Katong), I heard a loud squawking noise outside, fortunately I had my camera prepped & ready to shoot as I was planning on heading out to one of the local nature parks later that day. Immediately realising it was a Hornbill (by the distinctive call) I grabbed my camera and dashed out of the front door & into the road, switching on the camera and adjusting settings with 'one eye on the sky & one eye on the camera' (zero regard for oncoming traffic, thankfully there wasn't any). I pointed my lens up at the sky and was immediately confronted by this beauty flying right over my head being chased by a significant "murder" of crows (who were very unhappy with their prospective victim). Without a second's thought, I adjusted my camera to frame the action and rattled off a few shots ( this one ended up being the 'keeper'). P.S. The Hornbill made his escape.
