Seletar Park Connector 12Mar25

From KH

Another day at Seletar Park Connector, but only the usual birds.

Daily clearing of hydrilla attracted opportunistic birds all around.

Little Egrets: Food does drop from the sky!

Medium Egret: the big fish is mine!

Javan Myna: I also want a piece of this.

Asian Openbills: We'll just catch my own snails.

Seletar Park Connector 11Mar25

From KH

Morning walk at Seletar Park Connector, got the usual reed warblers and grasshopper warblers, such as this Black-browed Reed Warbler in the reeds.

Then I saw an all brown warbler in a Sea Hibiscus tree at eye level. Turns out it's a Dusky Warbler. Went to the car to take camera but bird is gone.

Other birds were the usual, such as these Asian Openbills.

Medium Egrets and Little Egrets feasting on barge.

Barn Swallow hunting from pole.

Coconut Palms in the golf course.

Pasir Ris Park 08Mar25

From KH

Danny, JS and I went to Pasir Ris Park for JS's tick, Slaty-legged Crake. Saw it but hard to get a photo.

While waiting for the crake, a couple of Blue-winged Pittas entertained the crowd, perching on Rain Tree.

A rooster lost a feather that's about 15 cm long.

Black Spotted Crow on porterweed.

From KH

I went from Rower's Bay Park to Seletar Dam. Just 1 wader, Common Sandpiper, at the dam, and the usual egrets.

Back at Rower's Bay Park, Smooth Otters were having a good swim. Handphone shot.
