NTL2 18May08 

From Danny

Despite busy schedule, managed to bird last Sat 18th May at Neo Tiew Lane 2. Managed to spot two trademark Black-backed Swamphens.

Another interesting bird was a White-winged Tern moulting to bleeding plumages in flight feeding off the water just off the holed fence (already patched up). Good spot for photo but not digiscope. Air pump running and the turbulence attracted a flock of Little Terns including this WW Tern to feed.
