Most people choose to go for short trip oversea whenever the holiday falls on week end. Instead of contributed to the jam at the check points, I went to Singapore Botanic Garden instead. I went there twice, once on Saturday and re-visit it again on Monday. However, I have to cut short the Monday trip due to the rain.
With the unmistakable gold colour on the back, this is indeed a Common Goldback woodpecker. (Yan, this is just for you... )
Another woodpeckers that I saw were this Brown-capped or Sunda Pygmy woodpecker, there are quite number of them in the garden.
This bird with bluish tinge on the throat is a Dollarbird (
Eurystomus orientalis)
Long tail parakeet that taking a nap when I took this photo.
Another one that is happily munching the oil palm fruit.
Could this be the juvenile Long tail parakeet?
This Rock pigeon have a very unique colour morph!
A rather small bird - an Ashy tailorbird
A flock of Lesser Whistling duck that is circulating the pond.
This water hen was having fun feeding near the pond edge.
On the other side of the pond, juvenile (black colour) were following their mother to search for food.
The big snakehead fish is not chasing the small fish, the small fish is the juvenile fish swim with the parents (the other adult not in photo) for protection.
Is one of the good place for bird watching minus the irritating mosquitoes that you usually get when go to forest. Planned to go back there again this coming week end.
Isn't is beautiful?
This plantain squirrel was jumping from one tree to another searching for food near the entrance to the park.
Just when we are about to enter the garden, a flock of Milky Stork flew pass our head!
We saw this Tailor bird when we enter the garden.
So as this 'jumping' myna bird. 
Lots of activities going on near the water too. This dragonfly busy laying eggs.
Damselfly - another good subject for photography too.
Found this Rock Pigeon with one missing leg. Not sure if it was born deformed or caused by injuries.
There are lots of Koi fish in the pond, all their colour are so vibrant! Some of the top breed are worth more than $10,000 per fish!
Saw quite a few number of Yellow bittern in the garden.
There are also Common Sand Piper in the garden however, the number are small compare to Sungei Buluh.
This Black Crown Night Heron are so well camouflage near the Sea Hibiscus plant.
Chinese Garden probably have the highest number of Cattle Egret at any one time in Singapore. 
There are lots of Water hen in the garden too. I didn't expect to see so many interesting birds in the garden. This place really worth to come back to explore.
