Danny, JS, CH and I started the day at Tanah Merah Coast Road, and found 3 Gull-billed Terns!

This is how the place look like now:

JS also saw an Eastern Crowned Warbler.

Moving on to Halus, CH showed us a small pond that was fenced up. Today, there were Lesser Whistling-ducks, Grey Heron and Yellow Bittern in it.
