Six species new to the Park were discovered for the first time:
Ruddy
Kingfisher
Siberian Blue Robin
Red-legged Crake
Little Bronze Cuckoo
Drongo Cuckoo
Black-browed Reed Warbler
Except for the Little Bronze Cuckoo, the new records discovered are
believed to be migrants.
One Ruddy Kingfisher trapped in Nov, together with a sight record
a few weeks earlier, constitute the first record in the Park.
Three Siberian Blue Robins were also trapped. Their presence had never
been known in the Park previously. Their capture only during the migration
months of Sept and Oct suggest that they are passage rnigrants.
The Red-legged Crake is elusive and has been known to occur in Lim
Chu Kang and sporadically throughout Singapore. Of significance is
its occurrence in a protected area other than the Central Catchment
Area.
