Sungei Serangoon, Punggol Park 17-19Oct25

From KH

The third SG record of Brown-breasted Flycatcher was spotted at Punggol Park on 17 Oct. I went and saw it, but no clicks. On 18 Oct, again saw but no clicks. On 19 Oct, at the end of census along Sungei Serangoon, bingo!

A Brown-chested Jungle-Flycatcher was also around, confusing matters, so care is to be taken.

From KH

When news of Singapore's second Brown-breasted Flycatcher broke, everyone rushed to Telok Blangah Green to tick this rarity, that was first seen yesterday afternoon. Those who went early got the bird and could pack up for work, but I could only arrive on site after lunch appointment.

First, I was fooled by a low-perching Brown-chested Jungle-Flycatcher.

Then, a high-up Dark-sided Flycatcher came.

Even a Blyth's Paradise-Flycatcher, which is not even an Old World flycatcher, came.

When there were no birds, we looked at other animals, like this Orange Awlet. Didn't realize there was a snail behind it until I reviewed the photos.

Many cicida molts on the tree trunks. Didn't realize there was a spider behind it until I reviewed the photos.

Finally, at about 4:30pm, the Brown-breasted Flycatcher reappeared at a low perch. Time to pack up.
