Pulau Semakau

Bird Watching, at Singapore's Only Landfill for Waste Disposal

sunny 35 °C

A totally different settings I had in my mind (lush greens, with walking paths shaded by the greens,....) before I arrived. By the time briefing about Semakau and the birds etc were done in the office, it was past 10am. Driven along the bund in an air-conditioned van, we had a short walk afterwards - but it seemed a long journey because the bund, unshaded - weather was extremely hot! But be prepared while under the hot sun, you may get a few good catch, such as...

Heron in flight.... (no this was snapped at the entrance of office)

Brahminy Kite and Heron... (no this was snapped from inside the air-conditioned van)

Nice flowers, and butterflies (no I meant butterfly, since there were many but they were so busy and fast that I had difficulty concentrating on them under the hot sun! - i repeat, its really hot!)

It would be nice to visit again, and start the walk early during birds migratory season....
