Bishan Park, SBWR, Bidadari 23Aug14

Con, Danny and I went to Bishan Park. It was nice to see some Grey-rumped Treeswifts, including this male.

There was a pair of Black-naped Orioles getting intimate.

A pair of Slaty-breasted Rails were out in the open totally ignoring our presence.

However, we did not see the Malaysian Hawk Cuckoo, nor Con's much-desired BY tick - Violet Cuckoo. Little Bronze Cuckoos were heard though.

Soon it was late morning and high tide, so we headed to Sungei Buloh for some wader-watching. There were not many birds around, only Redshanks, Greenshanks, 1 Marsh Sandpiper and some Common Sandpipers.

After lunch, Danny and I went to Bidadari. Spotted Wood Owl was on the same tree, but now there were two! We were surprised that there were no migrants yet, no flycatcher, no drongo, just the common birds.
