Seletar East 15Mar17

From Con

Finally after several years of trying. I went to that place that Jia Sheng doesn't want to go and on my first try I got a Lanceolated Warbler. Wasn't lucky to get a rare open shot but still something recognizable. Plenty of LW out there but this was the only one to give a brief look.

It was great to see the Long-toed Stint again! There were also 6 Red-throated Pipits around. Boy, the pond's really shrinking under this record dry weather!

Con managed to photograph a preening Common Snipe, showing some of the key features:

• white secondary trailing edges
• uniformly thick tail feathers
• pale tip on rather plain upperwing coverts
• thick dark lore

Danny managed to photograph the Lanceolated Warbler that has been wintering here with his compact camera. The heavy streaks on both the upper and underparts are clearly visible.
