NSS Bird Group Report-Oct 2015 NSS Bird Group Report-Oct 2015 October normally marks the peak passerine migration period for Singapore. Unfortunately it was also the peak time for peatland forest fires in Indonesia resulting in prolonged haze in the region. This is not a rant about our own inconvenience, but before we proceed further, spare a thought for the lost habitat for these migrants that have flown thousands of kilometres to find their wintering ground destroyed. The globally threatened Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher at Bidadari on 3 October The list of migrants that came to our shore this month is a long one. Among the notable ones are the ever popular Black-backed Kingfisher that landed at Bidadari on 6 October. Bidadari, which is widely considered as the best place in Singapore to see migrant forest birds also played host to numerous Brown-chested Jungle Flycatchers. This globally threatened species made its first appearance on 3 October and a few seemed to have made it their wintering ground. The Siberian Blue Robin, another attractive species that occupy the same bushes and ground as the jungle flycatchers also made its first appearance on 5 October. 1 Ferruginous Flycatcher at Bidadari Other notable sightings at Bidadari include the Asian Paradise Flyacatchers that made their first appearance on 2 October, the attractive Ferruginous Flycatcher on 28 October. The short range migrant from Malaysia, the Malaysian Hawk-Cuckoo made an appearance at Bidadari on 15 October. It’s cousin the similar looking Hodgson’s Hawk-Cuckoo came from further north and consequently made its first appearance on 18 October. Another charismatic species, the Blue-winged Pitta was reported on 18 October. Blue-winged Pitta at Bidadari. 2 Bidadari wasn’t the only place where migrants appeared. Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve continue to play host to migrant shorebirds, with sighting of the Bar-tailed Godwits starting on 4 October. These godwits are known to migrant birds with the longest known non-stop flight, and also the longest journey without pausing to feed by any animal (link). Shorebirds weren’t the only species that landed in Sungei Buloh. A Dark- sided Flycatcher was recorded there on 20 October, and a flock of Oriental Pratincoles on 27 October. Shorebirds were also sighted at Pulau Tekong with the globally vulnerable Great Knot on 21 October, 2 Grey Plovers on 27 October and 4 Ruddy Turnstones on 30 October. Swinhoe’s Plover at Marina East. This is a subspecies of Kentish Plover. Another area with shorebirds reported is at Marina East Drive, with sightings of 6 Kentish Plovers (a mixture of nominate subspecies alexandrinus and dealbatus also known as Swinhoe’s Plover) and Malaysian Plovers on 24 October. These species are normally sandy beach specialists, but they seem to have stayed on at the breakwater. Across the barrage at Gardens by the Bay, the first Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler was reported on 14 October. Photographers were also having a field day photographing the confiding Common Kingfisher at that locality. Slightly further away, the locally very rare Lesser Frigatebird was found by workers at Marina South Pier with a hook in the stomach on 9 October. It was sent to ACRES but did not survive. 3 On the raptor front, Peregrine Falcons were reported at three localities. At Pulau Ubin on 1 October, Japanese Garden on 15 October, and Millennium Tower on 29 October. The Pulau Ubin and Millennium Tower birds were of the ernesti race, which are rare residents, while the Japanese Garden bird is believed to be of the japonensis race that migrate from the north. Female Chinese Sparrowhawk at Jelutong Tower Juvenile Japanese Sparrowhawk at Tuas South 4 At Tuas South and Jelutong Tower, the migrant raptors, swifts and swallows were reported flying past. Chinese Sparrowhawks were seen at Tuas South on 6 October, and Jelutong Tower on 7 October together with, Japanese Sparrowhawks (7) , Oriental Honey Buzzards (7) and a Pacific Swift. On the same day (7 October), a large flock of Oriental Honey Buzzards totaling 42 were seen at Tuas South. On 15 October, the Red-rumped Swallows made an appearance at Jelutong Tower. On 28 October, there were 21 Oriental Honey Buzzards, 2 Japanese Sparrowhawks, 8 Oriental Pratincoles and 2 Pacific Swifts at Tuas South. On 29 October, a Black Bittern and an Indian Cuckoo were also seen at Tuas South. Female Oriental Honey Buzzard at Jelutong Tower Over at the freshwater ponds at Turut Track, 1 Wood Sandpiper, 6 Little Ringed Plovers and a Grey Wagtail were reported on 25 October.

  • OFFICIAL OPENING of the MARINA BAY CRUISE CENTRE SINGAPORE the 28,000-Square-Metre Terminal Opens Its Doors to the Public with a Night of Festivities and Fireworks!
    OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE MARINA BAY CRUISE CENTRE SINGAPORE The 28,000-square-metre terminal opens its doors to the public with a night of festivities and fireworks! Diamond Princess and Voyager of the Seas docked at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore on its official opening on 22 October 2012 Singapore, 22 October 2012 – The Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) at Marina South officially opened today in a ceremony attended by Deputy Prime Minister Mr Teo Chee Hean. The purpose-built 28,000-square-metre terminal, which is operated by SATS-Creuers Cruise Services (SCCS), saw its first ship dock on 26 May this year and is set to welcome more vessels as Singapore cements its status as a regional cruise hub. The Singapore Tourism Board announced in 2011 that SCCS, a joint venture between SATS and Creuers del Port de Barcelona (Creuers), was appointed as the operator for the terminal for a ten- year term, with an option to extend for another five years. The combined experience of SATS – the leading provider of gateway services and food solutions in the region – and Creuers – the largest port operator in Europe – was a large contributing factor to SCCS being selected to take the terminal forward. “The official opening of MBCCS marks a significant development for both the cruise landscape in Singapore and the ASEAN region. Not only does it deliver an enhanced and seamless travel Page 1 of 3 experience for cruise passengers, the terminal also serves to further anchor Singapore’s position as an attractive homeport for cruise lines with its state-of-the-art facilities and proximity to the new Marina Bay precinct and Singapore Changi Airport.

Two central city areas are investigated and taken as different Asian models for understanding the processes behind urban transformation. In Singapore, urban form making follows a top-down planning control system. In the 1990s, a new downtown plan was proposed at the reclaimed land, Marina South, using the concepts of through-block linkages, all weather comfort and sepa- rated multimodal pedestrian and transportation circula- tion. The ambitious plan is supported by the three tiers of Singapore’s urban planning system from the island-wide conceptual plan, district-wide land use plan to the site specific urban design guidelines.

  • 1 Coastal Protection
    Notes for GE4211 Field Trip to Marina Barrage (2 Apr ‘18) Denitza Voutchkova 1 COASTAL PROTECTION Coastal protection is one of the priorities in dealing with climate change effects in Singapore (the other is “improving drainage”). Minimum land reclamation level in Singapore was raised from 3 to 4 m above mean sea level in 2011 to address the projected sea level raise under the 2nd Climate change study. Defense from erosion: 70-80% of Singapore’s coastline: either walls or stone embankment 30-20% is “natural”, e.g. sandy beaches and mangroves Developing appropriate coastal measures coastal engineering, wave dynamics, coastal morphology, and hydrodynamics. Figure 1 2011 distribution of seawalls (in orange) around Singapore (source: Lai et al 2015, uploaded to IVLE, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2014.11.006) Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has commissioned a study that will form the national framework for coastal protection measures (the Straits Times, Jan 5, 2018). The study started in 2013 and was initially planned to be completed by the end of 2017, but has been pushed back to the 2nd half of 2018. The reason for this delay was because “more time is needed to consider fresh input and to engage stakeholders, so coastal protection strategies will complement development plans” (the Straits Times, see link below). The study is undertaken by Surbana International Consultants & DHI Water and Environment.
