Field Notes

Description:

I visited Pasir Ris Park just to catch a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of Fluffy, this absolutely adorable chick! He/she was fairly large for his/her age (any guesses?) but, in the manner of all babies, was restless, continuously bobbing up and down, looking here and there, raising one wing then the other, and so on. As he/she is still young, Fluffy has not shed his/her fluffy coat. Fluffy's parent can be seen in the last photo. A truly memorable encounter with a fantastic bird.

Yeah I agree, although that is kind of funny!
Yes, he was really cute! I understand what you say about the photographers disturbing him... there was one nearby with a three-foot lens that kept clicking his fingers and saying, "Baby, baby!" to get him to look so he could get his "perfect shot". I wish they would have more respect for wildlife (though it was pretty funny to hear him calling out "baby" so many times!)
Wow, great you got to see him! Fluffy is super cute here!
