The New Year started off with a group of four stilts at Marina East Drive – unfortunately, all turned out to be Black-winged in the end. Apart from that, the usual suspects kept us busy through the month, along with some rarities.
- Green Sandpiper reported again at Lim Chu Kang Lane 3, possibly the same one that was first seen in Jan 2020 and again in early 2021
- A well-photographed Hooded Pitta at Jurong East Street 21
- A Lanceolated Warbler provided surprisingly good views this month at Kent Ridge Park, the same place where one has been seen in past years
- A successful breeding record of Common Moorhen
