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.

Chestnut Munia eating what else but grass seed. Scaly-breasted Munia also eating grass seed.

Marina East, Gardens by the Bay 02Jul22

From KH

Danny and I went to Marina East today. The waterlogged grassland was full of Neptunia plena.

A female Greater Painted-Snipe flushed as we walked along the fringe.

While a Purple Heron hid.

Little Egret and Medium Egret also performed their flight show; Medium Egret in front of the Flyer!

At the coast, Pacific Reef-Egret flushed as we walked along the elevated breakwater.

Unfazed, this female Malaysian Plover stood her ground!

Chestnut Munia: Should I eat from this green grass or should I eat from that white grass??

At Gardens by the Bay, we got a pair of Sunda Woodpecker and other common birds.

Also got alien species: Brown Anole from the Carribean and Zebra Tilapias from Africa.
