Pulau Punggol, Halus, Tuas 02Jan16

From KH

Danny, JS and I started the day's birding at Pulau Punggol, while Con was at Tuas continuing his quest for the almost invisible Lanceolated warbler.

Besides a small flock of White-shouldered starlings with their Daurian cousins, the other interesting bird here was a weaver, likely of African origin, which we are unsure of its identity.

At Halus, we flushed some Savanna nightjars and Pintail/Swinhoe's snipes from the reed beds. Then, when we were about to drive off, 3 Jerdon's bazas showed up in the old grebe pond vicinity.
