Hampstead, SBWR 27Feb21

From KH

Danny and I started the day's birding at Hampstead Wetland as a Black-naped Oriole diffusus subspecies has been reported here recently, but it wasn't here today. Instead, Con informed us that there were a few at Sungei Buloh this morning. So we headed there straight away.

By the time we reached, diffusus was nowhere to be found. But here's an Ashy Minivet.

 

A Crested Goshawk high up.

Breeding season is in full swing for sunbirds: Crimson Sunbird chick in its nest and female Olive-backed Sunbird on her nest.

Coney Island, Pulau Punggol, Seletar, Sengkang 21Feb21

From KH

After Hindhede, I went to Coney Island. Here's a Great Eggfly and the flower it was on, Bidens.

Drove past Pulau Punggol and saw a Peregrine Falcon hunting.

No wader at Seletar Dam. :(

At Rower's Bay, a "Rubbish-bin" White-breasted Waterhen?? Olive-backed Sunbird still nesting.

At Hampstead Wetland, this Coppersmith Barbet had food in mouth, likely for chick(s) in the nest hole.

What are these Scaly-breasted Munias up to? Probably nesting too?

Male Common Iora foraging.

Common Bluebottle puddling on the ground.

At Seletar End, there wasn't much going on, but here's a Paddyfield Pipit.

On the way home, stopped by Sengkang Riverside Park and saw this White-breasted Waterhen chick.

Central Boulevard 21Feb21

From Con

The Pied Bushchat from Central Blvd this morning, looks likely a different bird from Holland Plain.
