Marina Grove, Marina East 20Dec25

From KH

Although Willow Warbler was gone for more than 2 weeks, Danny and I still made this trip to Marina Grove as Danny dipped at it.

Migrant Baillon's Crake was still around.

So were migrant Yellow Bitterns.

Resident Lesser Whistling-Ducks have made themselves comfortable here, preening themselves.

Little Grebe even managed to breed in this little pond. Juvenile was actively hunting.

No more warbler, time to make a move. As we were about to leave, a juvenile Oriental Honey-Buzzard flew past.

Next, Marina East.

The only migrant plover here was a Little Ringed Plover.

There were also 5 Malaysian Plovers (2 male, 3 female). This photo only managed to capture 4 of them in one.

Again, as we were about to leave, a juvenile Japanese Sparrowhawk zoomed past.

Here's a bug to round it up.
