Finally the reason for the trip to this ulu place. Bempton Cliffs. We woke up bright and early and after breakfast drove straight there. It wasn’t as far as we expected and so we reached before the official opening time. We were not the first though. Many other visitors had already arrived. There was supposed… Continue reading Birding Holidays – Bempton Cliffs

Birding Holidays – Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England
had seen seals before on previous trips to the UK but never this close. Even though we were on top of the cliff while they were like about 50 metres below – this was awesome. I went as close as I dare closer t the edge, the wind was raging here, and with my zoom lens managed to zoom in and get some details.
Birding – Broadwood Loch, Scotland
In the past, we have seen Roe Deer, foxes and of course different birds although mainly the water fowl – usually the Mute Swan, seagulls, Mallard and a small family of Great Cormorants. Occasionally we see the Great crested Grebe and Tuft Ducks and that’s about it.
Bidadari Park
Not exactly a park. Just a patch of forest land that is soon going to go the way of the dodo bird. So thought before it disappear forever, to go down there and try to take a shot at the birds that abound there. And I wasn’t disappeared. Could hear many different type of bird… Continue reading Bidadari Park
Jurong Eco Garden
Been meaning to drop by the Jurong Eco Garden but never had the time until recently. Not very easy to find place set within NTU itself and with small teeny weeny signboard. To get there, it is easier to look for Thow Kwang Pottery, the last remaining kiln in Singapore. The Jurong Eco Garden is… Continue reading Jurong Eco Garden
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Extension
When the Nparks announced the opening of the extension, I was fairly excited. So one afternoon I went there only to discover that it was the former Kranji Trail which I had visited before and which sadly is now “sanitised to become the new Sungei Buloh Extension. The former nice trail has been partially replaced… Continue reading Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Extension
Birds & Butterflies of Scotland
Beside the birds in the zoo and bird parks, we saw many wild birds on top of the countless sea gulls and ducks. Here are some of those that I managed to take a picture of. A magpie. They are supposed to be pretty common but I only saw them in a few places. Â Another… Continue reading Birds & Butterflies of Scotland
Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland
Our last main stop before we move over to London was to the Edinburgh Zoo. It seems we must make a pit stop at a zoo in every major place that we visit. There are quite of marine park and zoo in Scotland but Edinburgh is one of the bigger and better zoo in UK… Continue reading Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland
Loch Lomond, Scotland
The most famous place in Scotland is probable Loch Ness, home of the mythical Lock Ness Monster. Naturally that was on our must visit list until all the locals we spoke to told us not to waste our time travelling there. So in the end, instead of Loch Ness, we ended up at Loch Lomond.… Continue reading Loch Lomond, Scotland
River Safari & Amazon River Quest
Went back to the River Safari. Last visit was slightly over 6 months ago and the “boat ride” had not started then. To get to the boat ride, there is an extra $5.00 on top of the entrance fee. But frankly was a bit disappointed with the ride though. The ride was the sort of… Continue reading River Safari & Amazon River Quest
