Pulau Punggol 12Jan13
From KH
Today, Con, Danny and I only did morning birding at Pulau Punggol. Glad to know the Little Grebes and Whistling-ducks (Lesser and Wandering) are still using the pond, and the grebe is nesting! At least 1 Siberian Stonechat still around, as were a bunch of escapees - Pin-tailed Whydah, Crimson-rumped Waxbill, Golden-backed Weaver.
Raptor-wise, we counted 8 species, including wintering Booted Eagles of both morphs; and the GHFE that we needed to make 16 species for a day's raptor count.
