It was drizzling when I arrived at Singapore Botanic Garden (SBG). What a relief from the hot weather for the last 2 weeks.
The rain stop after about 30 minutes & everything looks so fresh! The rain water formed very beautiful crystal like balls - a good subject for photography too!
I remember tube sedge was once used widely just like the raffia string today. Eco Garden of SBG is one of the few area that tube sedge can be found in Singapore.
Rain or shine, the preparation for the next generation continues... saw this on a leaf near the Eco lake.
SBG is also one of the few area in Singapore to watch Whistling ducks. Not just one but 2 different species & possibly their hybrid too. Wandering whistling duck on the left & Lesser whistling duck on the right.
A Lesser whistling duck
I like this photo as it captured 2 different species with one hybrid possibly their off spring. The Wandering whistling duck in the middle, Lesser whistling duck on the right & the left one appeared to be a combination of both possibly the hybrid.
This White breasted water hen out in the open looking for food.
Oriental magpie robin also out in the open looking for food.
One of the most common bird in Singapore - Javan mynah.
Just as the sign stated, don't feed pigeon else their number will increase and become a pest problem.
I cross over to Adam Road hawker center for my favorite Nasi Lemak. What a great week end. :)
