If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of migratory birds at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, this might not be the ideal time for your visit. Most of those lovely feathered friends are already heading back to their breeding grounds up north.
But don’t worry—there’s still so much to see and enjoy!
Just before I stepped into the reserve, I spotted a charming group of three Milky Storks soaring above.
And right behind them was a graceful Grey Heron!
While I was on the Main Bridge, I was lucky enough to see another Grey Heron gliding along the river.
It was high tide during my visit, which meant lots of crabs were climbing up the mangroves, making for quite a sight!
As I strolled along the trails, I noticed several Oriental Blue Dashers buzzing around—these dragonflies are quite common in the reserve.
I also came across two Malayan Monitor Lizards engaged in a serious territorial showdown. Nature can be so intense!
Listening closely to a familiar high-pitched call, I then spotted four playful otters swimming in the river. They were such a delight to watch!
Due to the high tide, a Grey Heron was casually strolling on the grass, probably waiting for the waters to recede.
Venturing further into the mangrove area, I was thrilled to encounter a stunning Blue-Eared Kingfisher. What a beauty!
To my surprise, I also found a Chestnut-Winged Cuckoo, which is a migratory bird and likely one of the last few still hanging around Singapore.
Before I left the reserve, I witnessed a big school of Mullet Fish swimming in a mesmerizing circular pattern. I can only imagine how spectacular it would look underwater!
So even without the migratory birds, Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is still full of amazing wildlife and experiences waiting to be discovered!
