The mass of storks, moving in a flock pattern called murmuration, were spotted over many areas across the island.

Singaporeans were wowed yesterday by a rare sighting of large coordinated flocks of Asian openbills over the island.

“Is that Bat or Crow? Happening in Singapore, Choa Chu Kang Area today … Does it mean something is going to happen? What a phenomenon sight ,” a Vincent Chew posted to Facebook at nearly 9pm. “Looks so scary,” Facebook user Clary Clary responded to Chew’s clip, which has been shared 1,400 times. “Migratory birds flying really close to the flats ,” Facebook user Jia Hwee Lim wrote in a post to the Nature Society group.

The storks are found mainly in India and Southeast Asia, inhabiting wetlands including shallow marshes, flooded agricultural fields, and lakes, according to eBird.
