A Himalayan Vulture was photographed in flight at Marina East on the 30th, a Black Kite photographed at Changi Boardwalk on the 31st, and an Oriental Scops Owl photographed at the vicinity of Hindhede Nature Park on the 30th. The wintering juvenile Rufous-bellied Eagle was spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park on the 6th and 31st. Only one Chinese Sparrowhawk was recorded, at Telok Blangah Hill Park on the 3rd. Two Jerdon’s Baza were still around the Changi Business Park canal in January. Page 1 of 12 Singapore Raptor Report – Jan 2021 Four Western Ospreys were around at the northern areas, thirteen Peregrine Falcons were recorded, often perched on buildings. Of the 61 migrant Oriental Honey Buzzards, one at Changi Business Park on the 17th & 18th appeared to be a juvenile ruficollis. Finally, there were 15 Japanese Sparrowhawks, and 37 Black Bazas. White-bellied Sea Eagle, in flight with a half-eaten prey (possibly an eel), SBWR, 16 Jan 2021, by Teo Chee Yong. Highlights for sedentary species: Breeding-related activities were noted for four species. Two chicks of the Brahminy Kite were observed on a nest at West Coast Park on the 23rd. On the 30th, mating was observed for a pair of White-bellied Sea Eagles at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. At Pasir Ris Park on the 3rd, it appeared that the Crested Goshawks had built a new nest; in the middle of the month, there were two newly fledged juvenile goshawks at West Coast Park; and another two at Sin Ming Drive. And for the Buffy Fish Owl, the owlet at SBWR had fledged and was seen outside the nest on the 9th; at Jurong Lake Garden, another owlet was seen on its nest on the 20th, with an adult nearby; and at Yishun on the 23rd, another recently fledged juvenile. Page 2 of 12 Singapore Raptor Report – Jan 2021 There were six records of the Crested Serpent Eagle - at Jalan Anak Bukit, Goldhill Avenue, Pasir Ris Park, Admiralty Park, Botanic Gardens, and Pulau Ubin. One torquatus Oriental Honey Buzzard was recorded – a male on the 8th at the Botanic Gardens. Ten Grey-headed Fish Eagles were recorded, all near water, eleven Black-winged Kites and twelve Changeable Hawk-Eagles were also recorded. Unfortunately, one dark morph Changeable Hawk-Eagle was found dead in the grounds of a condominium on the 27th, possibly a casualty of ‘window-strike’. Finally, one Barred Eagle Owl was recorded at Rifle Range Link on the 6th, and two on the 27th, while two Spotted Wood Owls were seen at Pulau Ubin on the 22nd.

  • NSS Bird Group Report – Sept 2019
    NSS Bird Group Report – Sept 2019 September 2019 marked the appearance of rarities such as the Glossy Ibis, Black-naped Monarch, Blue Rock Thrush, and Japanese Paradise Flycatcher; as well as the first arrivals of many migrants. Glossy Ibis Sighting Photo-montage of the Glossy Ibis at Kranji Dam on 29 September 2019 by Goh Cheng Teng The Glossy Ibis, Plegadis falcinellus, is a widely distributed species that is found in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and North America. However, it is a very rare vagrant in Singapore. The sighting on 28 and 29 September 2019 by Raghav and Goh Cheng Teng, respectively, was our fifth sighting to date. Prior sightings were at Lorong Halus in 12-16 June 1984, Sungei Buloh in May 1989, Sime Road in October 1992, and November 2007. Wells (1999: 107) noted that the species is a vagrant in Peninsular Malaysia and highlighted that the sightings in 1984 and 1989 may have been wild sightings; captive birds were ruled out since the sightings comprised of adults and juveniles. Traded birds tended to be of a uniform age, since birds would be taken as fledglings. Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR) & Fringes Possibly first for the season, a Forest Wagtail, Dendronanthus indicus, was spotted in flight on 2 September 2019 at Jelutong Tower by Francis Yap. Another was spotted within CCNR on 6 September 2019 by Dillen Ng; who also spotted an Arctic Warbler, Phylloscopus borealis, on the same day. Also on 6 September 2019, an Eastern Crowned Warbler, Phylloscopus coronatus, was spotted at Jelutong by Francis Yap.

  • Understanding User Needs
    DESIGN & BEST PRACTICES 76 Adding Value to Parks Through Understanding User Needs Adding Value to Parks Through Understanding User Needs Text by Victor Tan Images as credited For city dwellers who live in countries endowed with scenic countrysides and landscapes, some travelling would get them away from the urban surroundings. In Singapore, visiting parks is perhaps the most practical way of staying close to nature. The presence of parks contributes to the quality of life in different ways. Besides the environmental and ecological benefits, parks bring notable social and psychological benefits to city dwellers, and are increasingly recognised as an important component of a liveable urban environment. While such benefits can be generalised, a park is seldom the same to two different park users. In fact, a park is almost never designed to cater to a single group of users, but rather, planned to cater to a diverse group of park users within its population catchment. Sometimes, park design is also influenced by its inherent environ- mental, social or heritage features. However, it is rare for post-design and post-construc- tion studies to be conducted to evaluate if the original design intents of parks have been met through park usage and user perception studies, largely because landscape architects are seldom ABOvE Tree-top Walk in Central Catchment Nature Reserve (Photo: National Parks Board, Singapore). involved in the post-construction management opposite, top LEFT & RIGHT West Coast Park (Photos: National Parks Board, Singapore). of parks. opposite, Bottom Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens (Photo: National Parks Board, Singapore).

Among the more than variety of books on these subjects, Tim is the author of Biophilic Cities and the Handbook of Bophilic City Planning & Design. The National Parks Board (NParks) of Singapore is committed to enhancing and managing the urban ecosystems of Singapore’s biophilic City in a Garden. NParks is the lead agency for greenery, biodiversity conservation, and wildlife and animal health, welfare and management.
