Highlights

Please note that several of these records remain under review by the Singapore Bird Records Committee:

• Singapore’s first wild Black-headed Ibis, at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve – the Records Committee’s rationale is summarized in our recent article
• Not one, not two, but three sightings of Short-toed Snake Eagle within the month
• Continuing sightings of harriers across the island, including an adult male Pied Harrier at Tuas – the first one since 2017
• Singapore’s sixth record of Daurian Redstart, at the same canal where Singapore’s first Black Redstart appeared last year
• Singapore’s third record of Common Swift at the now-famous redstart canal
• Eastern Imperial Eagle at Mount Faber, the eighth record for Singapore
• Three needletail species – White-throated Needletail, Silver-backed Needletail, Brown-backed Needletail – all recorded along the Southern Ridges
