July is the month where the first signs of migration begin to appear, with the first arrivals of early migrants like Barn Swallows and Brown-streaked Flycatchers.
Highlights
- Two records of Black-and-red Broadbill, at Sungei Buloh and Pulau Ubin – both are likely continuing birds
- First confirmed record of Barred Eagle-Owl at Thomson Nature Park (possibly indicating range expansion)
- Returning Ashy Drongo at NTU
- An early migrant Brown-streaked Flycatcher observed by many at Jurong Lake Gardens
