Seletar Dam, Pulau Punggol 17Dec16

From KH

Following yesterday's report of Amur falcon at Seletar Dam, Danny, JS and I met there to check it out. However, the bird was not around. As the tide was coming in, the waders and egrets were also leaving. So we left and went to nearby Pulau Punggol.

The dark morph Booted Eagle was still around. It'll probably winter here. From below, the square-cut and sharp-cornered tail is obvious. From above, the white shoulder patches (landing lights) and pale wing coverts are diagnostic.
