Compare to other green areas, park connectors are less crowded especially on week end. One of the main reason perhaps is the perception that Park Connectors have nothing to see?
If you are coming from SLE and after turning to Woodlands Ave 12, Woodlands Park Connector is on the left.
See what I found on the tree? It may be hard to spot at first as they are all green in colour.
Thanks to the low traffic, the Rose-Ringed Parakeet (
Psittacula krameri) actually was quite open! Once they start feeding, you just need to walk slowly towards them and you should be able to get quite near and observe them.
They are feeding on the seeds of the Peacock flower!
The near completion of Yusof Ishak Mosque can be seen from this Woodlands Park Connector. The new Woodlands Hospital will also be built at the now empty area. The view is even nicer at night especially after the opening of this new mosque.
I cross over Woodlands Ave 12 and continue my walk towards Ulu Sembawang Park Connector.
Well is a parakeet day! Saw another different parakeet feeding - Long-Tailed Parakeet (
Psittacula longicauda)
They are feeding on the fruits (their seeds to be exact) of Bintangor Bunut (
Calophyllum soulattri)
The Dollarbird (
Eurystomus orientalis) took the highest vantage point at a distance away looking for flying insects. Not a bad day out at the park connectors. Well, try to spot them if you happen to visit these 2 park connectors.
