From KH

A male Chinese Blue Flycatcher was spotted at Dillenia Hut a few weeks back but it was kept hush hush by a group of birders, reflecting the sad state of birding that persists in Singapore..

Fortunately, the bird was still around on 7 Mar. I didn't see him, but others did, so I'm just glad he was still around.

I returned on 8 Mar and managed a good look at it! But poor and blurry shot...

Supporting cast included this Chestnut-winged Babbler.

This spider with its magnificent web was also there to support.
