Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point

Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point One of the great thing about Changi Bay Point is that not only is there great scenery – there are also many butterflies and birds. I think Nparks have done a great job of doing up the place although a big chunk of the wild between it and Changi Coastal…

Singapore – Changi Bay Point

Back in 2022, Nparks opened up a new scenic walk to the east of Singapore. That period was still in the tail end of Covid and overseas travel was still not allowed. As such when Changi Bay Point was opened – travel starved people went all the way to the East just to bake in…

Birding Holidays – Bempton Cliffs

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…

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…

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…

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…

Of Rats, Cats and Dogs

The rats at Bukit Batok have been hogging the headlines for the past week. The authorities and pest controllers have been blaming the people there for the infestation. It seems the people have been feeding the stray dogs and the leftover food have attracted the rats which it seems is enjoying life there. Of course…

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.  Another…
