Holland Green 08Aug20

From KH

While Con, Danny and JS went Marina Barrage for seabirding, I went back to Holland Green.

Stayed half an hour at Holland Plains. No bushchat, but got these common birds instead.
  1. Red Junglefowl 1 - Heard
  2. Spotted Dove 1 - Heard
  3. Pink-necked Green-Pigeon 3
  4. dark swiftlet sp. 5
  5. Lineated Barbet 1 - Heard
  6. Long-tailed Parakeet 8
  7. Black-naped Oriole 1 - Heard
  8. Malaysian Pied-Fantail 1 - Heard
  9. Yellow-vented Bulbul 2
  10. Pin-striped Tit-Babbler 2 - Heard
  11. White-crested Laughingthrush 2 - Heard
  12. Baya Weaver 0 - Nest

Others had looked but couldn't find the bird either. So I decided to take a walk along Holland Green Linear Park. A Pair of Red-wattled Lapwings were in the field.


1 saw 3 White-headed Munias. Here're 2 of them.


Throw in a Chocolate Pansy for good measure.


Xylocopa latipes Carpenter Bees busying.


Senna sp. and Blue Trumpet Vine Thunbergia laurifolia.


The park connects with the Green Corridor, so I took a short walk along the corridor. Nice to see a bunch of Plume-toed Swiftlets flying low.

  1. Spotted Dove 5
  2. Zebra Dove 2
