Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve again!

My parents and I decided to take another jaunt in Sungei Buloh before school reopens.
It's always fun to see my "old friends" and spot new ones!

 Purple Heron

 Whimbrel

Pacific Golden Plover 

 Little Heron

We also saw non-bird wildlife, like

 Giant Mudskipper

Malayan Water Monitor Lizard 

                                                                  Some kind of tree snake

Flying Tree Snake 

Plantain Squirrel

I'm beginning to like Sungei Buloh a lot!

Birding at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Exams are coming! For a change from all the studying, my parents and I decided to take a drive to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve for a walk. We heard that this was one of the last few places in Singapore where you could see shorebirds without trekking through swamps and forests. 





Some of the birds we spotted were..


                                         Cattle Egret                                                   

                                         Little Egret


                                          Little Heron

                                          Grey Heron

                                         Egrets in flight formation

                                         Common Redshank

                                         Marsh Sandpiper

   White Breasted Waterhen (walking around everywhere!)

There were lots of pretty Kingfishers who posed for pics, called out loudly and fished for us to see.. 

                                          Collared Kingfisher


                                          White-throated Kingfisher

                                          Storkbilled Kingfisher 


And birds up on the trees.. 


                                          Olive-backed Sunbird

                                          Eastern Broadbilled Dollarbird

                                          Pink necked green pigeon

                                          Rufous tailed Tailorbird


There were cute little Pacific Swallows flying everywhere! We were lucky to catch them taking a break..



 It was still not enough for us, so Dad drove us around Kranji to look for more birds.

And I was rewarded with my all-time fav....raptors up in the air on display!!

                                          Black-winged kite hovering in the air (cool!)

                                          Brahminy kite (what a beaut!)

                                          Baya Weaver Birds' Nest
