Singapore Raptor Report Spring Migration, March 2014 Singapore Raptor Report Spring Migration, March 2014 Black Bazas over Jurong Lake, 210314, by Chan K C. Summary for migrant species: In March, 84 raptors of 10 migrant species were recorded. Chan K C had the good luck of encountering at least 30 Black Bazas over Jurong Lake area on the 21st of the month. The birds were circling for about a minute before moving off. The other lucky birder, through sheer persistence, was Low Choon How, who recorded a male Pied Harrier at Tuas South on the 8th of the month. He also recorded a female Eastern Marsh Harrier on the same day, and again on the 23rd. Alan Owyong also had the good fortune of recording a Booted Eagle at Changi during the Bird Census. There were 3 Jerdon's Baza at Lorong Halus, an improvement over last month's single record. On the other hand, the wintering Common Kestrel at Tuas was not recorded and may have started its northward migration for its breeding grounds. The other migrant raptors included the Osprey at the northern coastal areas, Oriental Honey Buzzard throughout the island, Japanese Sparrowhawk, and a few Peregrine Falcon and Chinese Sparrowhawk. Summary for resident raptors: An immature Crested Goshawk was photographed by Simon Siow at Lower Pierce on the 9th of the month. Nesting activities were recorded for the Black-winged Kite, Brahminy Page 1 of 7 Kite and White-bellied Sea Eagle. The juvenile Grey-headed Fish Eagles continued to be present at Bukit Batok Town Park (Little Guilin). The Changeable Hawk-eagle was also recorded at various localities.

It is distributed throughout the island and commonly associated with ornamental aquatic plants. Although the species has previously been considered by some to be native to Singapore, its origin is currently categorised as unknown. Morphological comparisons of freshly collected specimens and material in museum collections with type material, together with DNA barcoding, show that both Physastra sumatrana, and a recent gastropod record of Stenophysa spathidophallus, in Singapore are actually the same species—the globally-invasive Physa acuta. An unidentified physid snail was also collected from the Singapore aquarium trade.

  • Singapore Raptor Report Feb16
    Singapore Raptor Report Spring Migration, February 2016 Common Kestrel, adult male, Pulau Punggol Barat, 23 Feb 16, by Alfred Ng. Summary for migrant species: The Black Baza again claimed the top spot with 54 birds; the largest gathering was a flock of 21 birds at the Lorong Halus area. The Oriental Honey Buzzard was well represented by 30 birds, some of which had perched in urban areas such as the top of apartments. Five Japanese Sparrowhawks were recorded; at this time of the year, most of them showed signs of moult (which could make their wings look more pointed) and may be confused with the Chinese Sparrowhawk. Four Peregrine Falcons were recorded; among these, the 3 photographed were adults of the migrant race. Three Ospreys were recorded; 2 on the northern shores and 1 in the Central Catchment area. Two Jerdon's Bazas continued to winter at Tampines Eco Green; providing opportunities for birders to see this uncommon migrant. The juvenile Chinese Sparrowhawk with the falconry jesses on both tarsus was photographed again at Bidadari on the 18th. The uncommon Common Kestrel, a male, wintering at Punggol Barat was photographed on the 7th and the 23rd. An adult dark morph Common Buzzard was photographed at Changi on the evening of the 24th. There was a sighting report of a juvenile Rufous-bellied Hawk- Eagle at Labrador Park on the 16th; it may be useful to note that confusion with juvenile Changeable Hawk Eagle cannot be ruled out without photos. Lastly, a nocturnal raptor, the Northern Boobook (first discovered at Pasir Ris Park mangroves on 31st Jan) was photographed on the 1st and 2nd of Feb, after which it was not located again.

  • Singapore-Raptor-Report-Dec16
    Singapore Raptor Report Autumn Migration, December 2016 Eastern Imperial Eagle, juvenile, Pulau Ubin, 28 Dec 2016, by Robin Tan Summary for migrant species: An uncommon Grey-faced Buzzard (adult) photographed by Thio Hui Bing on the 1st on Pulau Ubin after rain was a good start for the month. The next day, on the 2nd, two rare raptors showed up: a grey morph Oriental Scops Owl photographed by Gavan Leong in the daytime, also on Pulau Ubin and a juvenile Black Kite photographed by Francis Yap at Jelutong Tower. Not to be outdone, a very rare Amur Falcon was photographed by Yip Peng Sun at Yishun Dam on the morning of the 16th - this being the second record for Singapore since the first occurrence on 21 Nov 2007. The streak of rarities culminated with a juvenile Imperial Eagle, again on Pulau Ubin. The last record being on 18 Nov 2001, 15 years ago. First photographed on the 19th, the Imperial Eagle was relocated on the 27th at the same spot and appeared there everyday till the 31st, giving birders here a great opportunity to see this rarity. A juvenile Imperial Eagle photographed on the 24th at the eastern part of Singapore main island was most likely the same individual. As is the case with migrant eagles, this individual was occasionally mobbed by resident House Crows and Brahminy Kites. A dark morph Booted Eagle was still wintering at Pulau Punggol Barat and the nearby areas, being recorded on the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 26th. Two Ospreys were recorded around the usual areas near the northern coast of Singapore.

  • Singapore Raptor Report Late Spring Migration, April-June 2016
    Singapore Raptor Report Late Spring Migration, April-June 2016 A rare photo of an adult and a young White-bellied Sea Eagle "cartwheeling" over Sentosa, 21 Jun 16, by James Tann. Summary: On 21st June, James Tann captured a rare series of photos of two talon-locked White-bellied Sea Eagles 'cartwheeling' through the air over Sentosa. Some books described this as 'talon- grappling' and 'tumbling'. Interestingly, an adult and a young eagle was involved in this instance whereas this behaviour is usually attributed to mated pairs but only mature adults have been known to form breeding pairs. Now, for the migrants. Five migrant raptor species were recorded in the April to June period. Four of them - the Osprey, Oriental Honey-buzzard, Japanese Sparrowhawk and Peregrine Falcon were also recorded during last year's late spring migration. The notable addition this year was the Rufous-bellied Eagle: a juvenile was photographed at Lorong Sesuai on 23 April enjoying a meal. Of the 14 orientalis Oriental Honey Buzzards recorded, 11 were juveniles (there were 10 in the same period last year), one was an adult female while the remaining two were not aged. Most of the juveniles were moulting their flight feathers (most were showing new P1 & P2, Page 1 of 7 counting from the inside). It is worth mentioning again that juveniles are known to 'over- summer' in the tropics. Only one Japanese Sparrowhawk, an adult female, was recorded on 2nd April. Two Ospreys were recorded at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Apr and May, but none in June; elsewhere, there was a record at Singapore Quarry in Apr and another record at Seletar Dam in May.
