In September we welcomed most familiar migrants back to our shores, but most of the action this month was concentrated offshore, with seabird migration through our waters in full swing.
Highlights
- Blue Rock Thrush at Kusu Island
- Five Gull-billed Terns at various sites on passage
- Swinhoe’s Storm Petrels on migration through the Singapore Strait throughout the month
- A flyby Red-footed Booby at Pasir Ris Beach
