Part 1
Sighting of one of our rare resident breeders, the Buffy Fish Owl at Khatib Bongsu on Sunday, 14 Oct. At around 0825h, while scanning for kingfishers by a 'hidden away' stream not far away from the entrance, AH saw an owl staring right back at her. All four of us - Alfred, NK, AH and I - enjoyed good looks of the perched bird (in the daytime) for about 5 minutes before it flew off deeper into the woods on silent wings.

Part 2
AH and I did another recce of Changi this afternoon. There is this plot of land just before the Safra Yacht Club that's being developed. From a mound, we gleefully counted and recounted a flock of 12 Red-wattled Lapwings, our personal best in terms of quantity for Red-wattled Lapwing sightings in Singapore at any one location. Simply wonderful!
