Pied Triller

For a bird photographer in Singapore, the handsome Pied Triller (Lalage nigra) is a masterclass in subtlety. It doesn’t possess the iridescent flash of a sunbird or the raucous personality of a kingfisher. Instead, it offers a clean, architectural beauty—a study in grayscale that blends seamlessly into the dappled light of the island’s garden canopies. Finding one requires a "soft eye": looking not for color, but for a specific, rhythmic movement against the leaves.
