Pulau Tekong 31May - 03Jun10

From JS

After a gruelling period of 4 days in Tekong, I am back to modern civilisation, back to the company of mynas and more mynas. At Tekong, it was the White-rumped Shama that were everywhere - on the road and one even came up to my instructors for food!

Thrash birds aside, I was fortunate to hear my first Mangrove Blue-flycatcher and see my first Black-naped Monarch on Tekong. I was expecting to see the monarch in the dense forest of Tekong but saw it at the shrubby trees by the track.

Other noteworthy sightings were more Green Imperial-pigeons and plenty of the brilliantly coloured Purple-throated Sunbird.
