August was a month of rare shorebirds, but most only stayed for one day. We also welcomed the reappearance of the Black-and-red Broadbill that was first ringed at Sungei Buloh in 2019.
Highlights
- Asian Dowitcher at Yishun Dam
- Two Javan Plovers at Tanah Merah Coast Road
- A flyover Red-footed Booby over Bukit Timah
- Curlew Sandpiper, Marsh Sandpiper, and Ruddy Turnstone at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
- Six Brown-streaked Flycatchers across the island
