Lorong Halus Wetlands was then venue for today’s excursion.
I took a taxi from Pasir Ris MRT and decided to walk back through Pasir Ris Park. The later part of the journey turned into a challenge as the sun
cooked me en route!. I must have lost a few kg in sweat on the way back!
I picked up a few lifers this morning along Pasir Ris
Farmway 3 with Scaly Breasted Munia being the easiest to photograph near the
treatment works. White Headed Munia was seen in flight.
A Long Tailed Shrike was seen on the railings above the
canal near the Mainland Tropical Fish Farm.
The following pictures I thought were weavers both were in
the same habitat at seemed to be associating with each other.
The bird I
believe is a male does not fit Bay weaver with its all black head. Bay has a
yellow crown down to the neck. The bird had a rufous chest, flanks and black in
the wings. The bill was dark which has steered me away from Black Headed Bulbul
This bird is either a female or immature bird and looks a
more likely candidate for a Bay Weaver. The legs on the earlier picture were
stronger than this individual. I have asked for some id assistance on Singapore
birders and await a verdict! - Golden Backed Weaver male and female I can only surmise that this is an introduced species as its range is in Africa. Has bred in UAE since 1992.
My penultimate day in Singapore has been a scorcher hopefully
the sun has not totally gone to my head!
