Excuse this off-limit e-mail. During a stopover in Singapore Saturday evening I 
saw from the airport's rooftop "Cactus Garden" next to some typical species 
(such as Javan Myna and House Crow) a few more birds:
1. a very quick fly-by swiftlet (didn't get any details) - are there 
Edible-nest 
Swiftlets around the airport?
2. a fly-by crow with a very large appearing bill (didn't get any further 
details) - are there Large-billed Crows around the airport?
3. and finally in one of the cacti on the airport's roof a Yellow-fronted 
Canary 
(Serinus mozambicus)! Is there a feral population of these African finches or 
is 
this rather a fresh release?

Cheers,

Nikolas
