#17 - Pacific Golden Plover in non-breeding plummage


Hello SeeToh, great pics, really enjoyed looking at them - the owls are particulalry good.

I'm coming to Singapore on Friday for 2 weeks with work, but will have 4 days birding to look forward too. Any tips on where to go - MacRitchie seems a good area to concentrate on. I can private mail you if ok?

cheers, Paul

Hi Paul

Now it's a great time to bird in Singpore but the weather sucks though. It keeps on raining (thunderstorm) in the afternoons.

Many rare migrants had already been spotted/shot like the Ruddy Kingfisher, Black-backed Kingfisher, Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher, Black-Winged Stint etc.

The Buffy family should be a sure thing at MacRitchie. But the most happening place now is the former Bidadari Cemetery (already exhumed a couple years ago). If you are lucky, you may also be able to get the rare resident Blue-eared Kingfisher pair at Lower Pierce Reservoir which I manage to get an improvement shot yesterday evening (attached).

Just let me know (via pm) what you are interested to see this trip (migrant or resident and the specific specie) and I will try to provide to the best of my knowledge the best places/time to get them (and also how to plan getting around to these places).

For a complete list of birds sighted in Singapore in the last 30 years, refer http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=131&Itemid=128.

Cheers

See Toh
