Black-and-red Broadbill

Very rare non-breeding visitor. Understand birders been posting picture of broadbill when they visited the birds sanctuary in JB. The last sighting in SG was in 2019 until recently in  early May 2022, one was sighted in Pulau Ubin. Glad we are able to sight it at Sungei Buloh today on 28 May 2022.

Usually under shade. Only able to see its beautiful colours when we zoom in.

This was how it will look under naked eye when it was perched under the sunlight.
