Turf City, Marina East, Botanic Gardens 05Dec20

From KH

When news of Chestnut-cheeked Starling at Turf City broke, Con, Danny and I went looking for it, while JS went to Kranji Marsh. Then news of jacana at Marina East came and we left for it. JS arrived after we left and got the starling! ebird checklist

Oh well, at least we got the Pheasant-tailed Jacana at Marina East. ebird checklist

So it's back to Turf City, but the bird is nowhere to be found. We only got Daurian and Asian Glossy Starlings. ebird checklist

After lunch, we continued waiting for the starling, but no luck. ebird checklist

While the rest left, I went SBG for the male Narcissus Flycatcher that the rest have seen the last few days there. ebird checklist

Wallace Education Centre 29-30Nov17

Following reports of rare flycatchers at Wallace Education Centre, we made our way there separately with varying success.

From Con on 29 and 30 Nov

Female Narcissus Flycatcher. First winter Zappey's Flycatcher

From KH on 30 Nov

I went after work to tick off the Narcissus Flycatcher, and I'm glad I did, as the bird was not seen again subsequently. Apparently, the bird was first seen on 28 Nov.

A rufous morph Oriental Scops-owl first sighted today was also present. Siberian Thrushes, both male and female, were present too. I dipped on the Zappey's Flycatcher though.
