This August featured the return of migrant action, with the first shorebirds and early passerine migrants streaming in.
Highlights
- First record of Asian Dowitcher at a publicly accessible site in 6 years
- Other scarce migratory shorebirds, including Greater Sand Plover at Yishun Dam and Black-tailed Godwit at Sungei Buloh
- Up to 6 Brown-streaked Flycatchers across the island, clearly overlooked in past years
- Jambu Fruit Dove at Dairy Farm Nature Park
