Migratory Birds Arrived at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

I was told that migratory birds have started to arrive at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (SBWR). Is rather early this year, so I made a trip there on 2 September.

 Is getting easier to spot crocodile in  SBWR. I saw this huge crocodile at the main bridge.

little egret (Egretta garzetta)
 Different from the Purple heron, this little egret is more active in finding food.
Painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala)

 This Red Shank is one of the early batch of migratory birds that arrived in Singapore.
