Neo Tiew, SBWR, Pulau Punggol 3Dec16

From KH

I missed the Ruff last evening by 30 steps, so while Danny and JS were at Kranji Marsh, I went Sungei Buloh to try to redeem myself, but there were hardly any waders around due to low tide.

After joining the father and son team at the marsh, we headed to Turut Track to feed mosquitoes before heading to SBWR to join force with Con, the only one in this group who got the prized Ruff last evening.

At SBWR, we only got a Bar-tailed godwit and the usual redshanks, greenshanks, whimbrels and a few Common sandpipers. There were also a small flock of 11 OHBs migrating and 2 Black bazas.

After lunch, Con left and the three of us went to Pulau Punggol. Before that, at Neo Tiew Lane 3, Danny and JS spotted a small flock of 5 Black bazas.

At Pulau Punggol, we got the Booted eagle (dark morph) and 5 Black bazas, on top of the residents - 1 Black-winged kite, 1 calling CHE, a few Brahminy kites and WBSEs.
