My favourite Locations for Birding and Butterfly-watching

If you enjoy birding and butterfly watching

as much as I do, here are some places that

I recomend to you. If you have not tried these activities before

and you are interested, you can start out at the same places.



For birding:

• the Mandai Orchid Garden, for sunbirds, and bulbuls


• Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, for wetland birds like waders, egrets and plovers


• Singapore Botanical Gardens, for forest birds like drongos, garden birds like sparrows, mynas and doves

For butterfly watching

• the Mandai Orchid Garden, for a variety of large butterflies
• the Hort Park, for blues, yellows, occasionally pansies and skippers

You can also visit forests to find bluebottles, swallowtails and many brown butterflies

( the locations are all in Singapore )
