Monthly Roundup: Jun 2024

The Black-winged Stilts drew much attention in June, and a lucky few managed to see a single Pied Stilt in their midst – just the sixth record for Singapore. Not to be forgotten was a single Jacobin Cuckoo at Kallang Riverside Park (this record is still under review by the Records Committee).
