Sighting of Lesser Adjutant

Chan Yoke Meng photographed the Lesser Adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus) on 7th January 2015 at Punggol Barat.

“Uncertain if this individual is an escapee or visitor from Malaysia. I have been to River Safari at the Zoological Gardens and the Lesser Adjutants are in an enclosure with high net on top, no way they can escape,” wrote Melinda Chan.
