A maximum count of 12 reported at Telok Blangah by Chuin Ming Lee where the birds (the same flock) were observed cirling over the Tanjong Pagar area (https://ebird.org/checklist/S63196117). A count of 10 later seen at Cashew Heights again by Raghav Narayanswamy (https://ebird.org/checklist/S63193111), presumably of the same flock. |
