Surprise after surprise... this is the impression that I have about Pasir Ris Park. My very first surprise was last October when I have a chance to observe the heronry right here in Singapore! 
Since then, from common, uncommon to rare migratory bird(s) keep appearing one after another and it was really a fantastic birding experience. Most migratory birds have left and I was pleased to have met a flock of Chinese Pond Heron 池鷺(Ardeola bacchus) stock up reserves before their long journey home.  Not just one but whole flock of them!
 Not just one but whole flock of them! 



 Wish them a safe journey home!
Wish them a safe journey home!
北方的氣候應該轉暖,這群池鷺應該也是時候回返故鄉了吧。有點令我不解的是,它們都換上了繁殖羽!既然要長途跋涉,為何不等回到故鄉後才換繁殖羽呢?
