Seletar Park Connector 11Mar25

From KH

Morning walk at Seletar Park Connector, got the usual reed warblers and grasshopper warblers, such as this Black-browed Reed Warbler in the reeds.

Then I saw an all brown warbler in a Sea Hibiscus tree at eye level. Turns out it's a Dusky Warbler. Went to the car to take camera but bird is gone.

Other birds were the usual, such as these Asian Openbills.

Medium Egrets and Little Egrets feasting on barge.

Barn Swallow hunting from pole.

Marina East 17Dec22

From KH

I went with Danny to Marina East today. The breakwater is good habitat for plovers and Pacific Reef-Heron.

White-faced Plovers

Kentish Plover

Little Ringed Plover

Smooth Otter also prowled the breakwater.

The flooded field here was full of Neptunia plena making it good habitat for many birds, such as this Common Moorhen.

Japanese Sparrowhawk and House Crow taking turns chasing each other.

Birds of the same colour flock together: Yellow Bittern and Yellow-vented Bulbul.

There were many Oriental Reed Warblers, but just this single Black-browed Reed Warbler.
