Third day in a row trying for the Grey-streaked Flycatcher at Oh Heng Huat Nursery. Nothing much in the morning, but got this Japanese Sparrowhawk.

Went back in the evening and finally managed to get it! Clear dark streaks on white underparts and small black bill make the Grey-streaked Flycatcher quite a distinctive bird from other similar-looking flycatchers.

A Grey-streaked Flycatcher was reported at Oh Heng Huat Nursery in Sembawang. No luck today.

But nice to see this adult male migrant Oriental Honey-Buzzard and this juvenile pale resident Changeable Hawk-Eagle.

This female Banded Skimmer was laying eggs in the pond.

An introduced Common Thread Turtle (aka Chinese Stripe-necked Turtle) was sunning itself.
