Monthly Roundup: Jun 2024

The Black-winged Stilts drew much attention in June, and a lucky few managed to see a single Pied Stilt in their midst – just the sixth record for Singapore. Not to be forgotten was a single Jacobin Cuckoo at Kallang Riverside Park (this record is still under review by the Records Committee).

Highlights

  • Black-winged and Pied Stilt at Tuas South
  • Third record of Jacobin Cuckoo for Singapore
  • Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher at Hampstead, just the third record since its local extirpation
  • Cinnamon-headed Green Pigeon at Pulau Ubin
  • Barred Eagle-Owl at Ulu Sembawang
