Tuas 03Oct20

From KH

Danny and I started today's Tuas adventure at a forest patch near Tuas South Drive. Nothing exciting, but got this nice male Ashy Tailorbird.

Female and male Blue Perchers.

Blue Glassy Tiger and Spotted Meadow Katydid Conocephalus maculatus

Anoplodesmus saussurii millipede and Macrochlamys snail

Con and friend were at Tuas South Ave 8/9 and got 7 Savanna Nightjars and a Yellow-rumped Flycatcher. JS and wife joined in late afternoon for raptor watch and we got Bridled and Little Terns instead.
