Tuas 29Oct16

From KH

Danny and JS went to Ave 7 to check out the forested patch and got a Hodgson's Hawk-cuckoo.

When I reached Ave 16, they were already in the woods, but they informed me that there was a Chestnut-winged Cuckoo hidden in the trees along the road. Sure enough, there it was, skittish and well-concealed. Also around were Low CH and friend, and Lim KK.

Migrant raptor-wise, there was only a flock of Oriental Honey-buzzards heading south before the sky opened and we had to retreat to the new coffeeshop.

We returned to Ave 16 once the rain stopped, but there was nothing else of note.
