Pulau Punggol 08Feb14

From KH

It was great to see the Long-toed Stint again! There were also 6 Red-throated Pipits around. Boy, the pond's really shrinking under this record dry weather!

Con managed to photograph a preening Common Snipe, showing some of the key features:
  • white secondary trailing edges
  • uniformly thick tail feathers
  • pale tip on rather plain upperwing coverts
  • thick dark lore


Danny managed to photograph the Lanceolated Warbler that has been wintering here with his compact camera. The heavy streaks on both the upper and underparts are clearly visible.
