Free Buffet

Buffet style restaurant is always one of the popular dining venue as diners serves themselves with what they want & as many as they can eat. Buffet is a very effective way of serving large numbers of people at once.

In nature, this method is also widely used by plants to attract birds to help them disperse their seeds. I visited this fruiting tree near Bukit Timah last month and managed to see many birds that are usually difficult to see or spot. 
Straw Headed Bubul
 The first birds that I saw was this pair of Straw-Headed Bulbul (Pycnonotus zeylanicus)
Asian Fairy Bluebird - female (Irena puella)
