Pulau Punggol 05Dec12

From Con

I went this morning, and Ashley Ng was there as well as the ladies who got stuck in Changi Cove. The ladies said they were able to get close to the bird and showed some photos on point and shoot camera. The ladies left and Ashley and I were looking for the Small Pratincole, it took quite a while to find it.

The bird is actually quite approachable as long as you move very slow and stay low (in other words crouch down).

Not many other birds there, the ducks were there and at least one little ringed plover, some wagtails, egrets but no oriental pratincoles.

From KH

I went in the afternoon from 3-4 pm. The bird was there and so was a yellow car and 2 other birders (Sutari and Jimmy Chew).
