Sungei Buloh is our Wetland Reserve that for years have been the vacation grounds of migratory birds from November to March. When it was first opened, it was an exciting development because it enabled us to see birds like herons, egrets and even storks in real life. Before that, our view of bird life during Winter in the Northern Hemisphere was restricted to the documentaries on TV. Sungei Buloh has now expanded in size and the newly-developed areas have features that are aesthetically pleasing and functional in that they bring us closer to the swamps that were previously not as open as they are now to the visitor. Although our motive for the visit was really to seek out the insects that we have found missing in our parks and nature reserves we nevertheless also enjoyed our walk through this new addition to Sungei Buloh.
I dedicate this blog to Mr Lee Kuan Yew, our first Prime Minister, who planted the first tree on 16 June 1963 to launch the tree-planting campaign in Singapore. What follows is a flourishing island of greenery and beautiful parks that I now have the privilege of enjoying. I will walk the parks with you in my heart. Thank you very much Mr Lee!
