Monthly Roundup: Jun 2022

Monthly Roundup: Jun 2022

June was a relatively quiet month, but with records of rarities like Black-thighed Falconet and Pied Stilt, it’s hard to call it a boring one!

Highlights

  • At Pulau Tekong, continued presence of breeding Pied Stilts. Will this be the year this species is finally observed in a publicly accessible site?
  • Eighth confirmed record of Black-thighed Falconet, at Lorong Halus.
