A very profitable April for van drivers at ferry operators at Pulau Ubin, but unfortunately neither of the standout birds at Chek Jawa stayed longer than a day.
Highlights
- First record of Greater Flameback in over 100 years, at Chek Jawa
- Fifth record of Scarlet Minivet this century, also at Chek Jawa
- Black-headed Bulbul, Black-and-red Broadbill, and Black-winged Flycatcher-shrike, again at Chek Jawa
