Hello all, Another few days of good birding on the CI. Since my last update we’ve continued to have an excellent run of swifts/martins etc. Another visit to NW Point produced more Edible-nest Swiftlets, 30+Asian House Martins and a well photographed MOSSY-NEST SWIFTLET. Yesterday afternoon they had all gone, only to be replaced by a lone House Swift, which circled for over an hour providing close views and plenty of photos.
A GREY WAGTAIL has been hanging around the rubbish tip for the last couple of days and we’ve had several close views of RED-COLLARED DOVE in Settlement. Our last afternoon on the island produced an ASIAN KOEL, White-throated Needletail, Dollarbird, Oriental Pratincole and Wood Sandpiper.
