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.
