Monthly Roundup: Jul 2022

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

This report is made possible by analyzing the many hundreds of checklists uploaded to eBird every month, identifying and merging sightings, and compiling these records into the required format. This process is almost entirely automated, with light editing by our team as needed. We hope that we did not overlook any eBird records of species listed in this report, and that the report is factually correct.
