My Singapore Lifer List

SeeToh · Tuesday 27th December 2011, 03:32

Got lifer #265 - Black-headed Gull which is an uncommon winter visitor/passage migrant to Singapore.

SeeToh · Saturday 31st December 2011, 07:02

I am overjoyed to be able to get a lifer on the last day of 2011. My lifer #266 is the Little-ringed Plover. This specie is supposed to be a common winter visitor/passage migrant but its occurence in Singapore is getting rarer.

SeeToh · Tuesday 10th January 2012, 13:07

Got my first lifer of 2012 at Bukit Batok Nature Park this evening:

#267: Glossy Swiftlet - a rare resident of Singapore.

SeeToh · Sunday 22nd January 2012, 11:13

Got two lifers today! They are:

#268: Rusty-rumped Warbler (also known as Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler) - an uncommon winter visitor to Singapore

#269: White Wagtail - a rare winter visitor to Singapore

SeeToh · Sunday 5th February 2012, 13:02

My lifer #270 is the Asian Pied Starling - an escapee species that has yet to establish a feral population in Singapore.

Lifer #271 is also an escapee species - Citron-crested Cockatoo (which is the smallest of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo sub-species).

Lifer #272 is the Ashy Drongo (leucogenis sub-species) - a rare winter visitor to Singapore.

Lifer #273: Javan Pond Heron assuming breeding plummage. This species is presumably a rare winter visitor/passage migrant to Singapore. But its occurence in Singapore may not be that scarce as this species is indistinguishable from the more common Chinese Pond Heron when in non-breeding plummage. Only got a blocked image of this bird to share.

Lifer #276: Finally got a SG lifer in the month of March. It's a male Cinnamon Bittern. Had been trying high and low to find this presumably common resident breeder in the last 2 years but to no avail. Overjoyed to have finally nailed this fellow.
