Have you ever wondered what is there to experience at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve?

Have you walked the trails, thinking there was nothing except mud and greenery?

Here’s a peek into what you can expect.

These photographs were taken at the Reserve by Sungei Buloh staff, volunteers and visitors.

“One of the joys in visiting Sungei Buloh is to see a monitor lizard basking in the sun in the middle of a path - big or little ones, they are all fascinating, especially when seen close up.

Or to creep quietly into one of the hides and see literally hundreds of migratory birds right in front of you. It’s great to share this experience with others.

Unfortunately, if there are too many of us, our chatter scares the lizards away. So, I usually tell the children that God gave us two ears and two eyes, but only one mouth - they usually get the point without further elaboration. From time to time, they will be reminded that successful sightings come with quiet patience and a bit of luck”, says Keith Hillier, Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve volunteer.

So go ahead, take an unhurried walk through the Wetland Reserve and be prepared for new experiences.
