This trip was my first time going on a guided nature walk and I learnt so many new things! It was fascinating to not just learn about the plant and animal life present in SBWR but also its ecological significance as a stopover for migratory birds and home to large mangrove forests. Learning how different … Continue reading SBWR Reflection
Being the first time I've been back at sungei buloh wetland reserve in a good 6 years, it was refreshing to see the familiar sights of SBWR, reminiscing all the times I’ve come here as a child.This field trip to SBWR has been really eye-opening for me, with Ivan and Lesley pointing out various flora … Continue reading Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
This was an amazing experience at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve with a dedicated and knowledgeable tour guide accompanying us to share his knowledge on the flora and fauna found here. For once, I could be "one with nature", away from the usual skyscraper-filled, highly modernized city landscape in Singapore. Not only did I get to … Continue reading Sungei Buloh Nature Walk 🙂

A big thank you to our tour guide Ivan and our field trip IC Lesley for making this possible! Little Egret Along the way, we saw male … Continue reading Sungei Buloh Field Trip
At the mention of the word “eagle”, most Singaporeans would probably picture the national bird of America - the majestic bald eagle, with its snow-white head and golden-brown body. They would probably also imagine a stereotypical screech in the background to accompany the image. If you told them that we had wild eagles in Singapore, … Continue reading SBWR Field Trip 14 Mar 20
It was pretty cool. I'm a (wannabe) wildlife photographer, so I'm fairly used to walking around our parks and reserves, spotting and taking photographs of (or atleast, trying to) our native fauna. I'd hardly ever been to SBWR though, despite it being the best place to go birding in Singapore. It's pretty remote and I'm … Continue reading Sungei Buloh Trip
14 March 2020- I really loved my trip to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve with BFF and our tour guide Ivan! We saw many varieties of wildlife and plant life and it deepened my love for nature. The most memorable part was when we saw multiple baby horseshoe crabs crawling around on the shore. Before then, … Continue reading Sungei Buloh Reflections
