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. Starting from October 2022, our reports are generated through a new technique which allows us to publish them much sooner. We hope that we did not overlook any eBird records of species listed in this report, and that the report is factually correct.

Before our official launch in August 2023 (and subsequent renaming to the Bird Society of Singapore), articles on this blog were published under our previous name, the Singapore Birds Project.
