Probably that's where the Rustic came from too. I was surprised to see a forest butt out in GB!

i have seen Rustic also along changi coast road where Nparks planted some flacourtia beside the road.Originally Posted by Commander
I hope the Vagrant is not a one off individual that came with some plants. but would be cool if there was a small population at GBTB.

A Tiger Cat, Peacock Royal, Common Tit and a poor record shot of Dingy Line Blue (I think, size is as small as Pygmy Grass Blue). If yes, can add to GB checklist.

Unfortunately the last one is still a Tailless Line Blue.

The subspecies macromalayana of Vagrans sinha is now a synonym of subspecies sinha.
Formerly ssp macromalayana covers Sundaland (ie. greater Malaya/Malaysia, old zoogeographical term) and the Philippines.
As with a strongly migratory species it is often impossible to differentiate between continental & insular forms.
Vagrans sinha sinha now extends from India to the philippines.
Yutaka website shows the distribution of V. sinha sinha.

The Philippine websites only list V. sinha sinha. for example.

I think this is beginner's luck. Spot it along the canal opposite the forested area - the place where we saw the tawny coster.
Thanks Khew for the id. At first with the top side I thought it was a rustic.
