Recent reports on sightings of migratory birds at SBWR brought me to the area.
Just within the farm opposite SBWR, saw some scaly-breasted munias collecting building materials, moving busily in and out of the palm trees.
Somewhere near hide 1B, saw a sunbird with orangey feet and gape. Suspect it to be a juvenile female plain-throated.
At the bridge and platform that looks out to Johor Straits, a brahminy kite flew overhead with a fish in its clutch. An osprey soared past in the other direction. Then 8 common redshanks did a fly-past. At hide 1D, I sat and counted 37 common redshanks, 26 little egrets, 5 grey herons, 2 milky storks, 1 common greenshank and 1 purple heron.
