Rifle Range, Wallace Centre, SBWR 01Oct16

From KH

Con brought along a couple from Colombia to join Danny and I today. We started at Rifle Range. Along the way to Jelutong Tower, we got the usual residents Banded woodpecker, Hill mynas, Greater racket-tailed drongos, Short-tailed babblers, Pin-striped tit babblers, Dark-necked tailorbirds, Asian glossy starlings, and the usual migrants Yellow-rumped flycatcher, Asian brown flycatchers, Eastern crowned warblers.

At Jelutong Tower, we managed to get some more birds: Blue-crowned hanging parrots, Pink-necked green pigeons, Olive-winged bulbuls, Brown-throated sunbirds, Scarlet-backed flowerpeckers.

On the way out, I saw a rare Brown-chested jungle flycatcher.

Shifting location to Wallace Centre, we found tonnes of photographers there! We got an adult White-bellied sea eagle soaring high up, a confiding male Yellow-rumped flycatcher, 3 noisy Asian fairy bluebirds, an almost invisible Little spiderhunter and singing Straw-headed bulbuls.

Moving on to Sungei Buloh, we met Martin and his friend, and there were only the usual waders.
