From KH

Green Sandpiper was reported to be back at Lim Chu Kang Lane 3 canal, so it was mandatory for Danny and I to head there this weekend. But we only saw the usual Wood Sandpipers and Common Sandpipers. Here's one of the Woodies.

Eastern Yellow Wagtail was also here.

Some Javan Munias were feeding in the Cenchrus grass.

2 snipes in front of waterlilies.

After that, we went to Neo Tiew Harvest Lane, but nothing much. Makan time.
