    Good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. Thanks for the wonderful video from the Botanical GARDENS. Hong Kong 🇭🇰 also has the White-breasted Waterhen which can be seen near and around the mangrove areas at the beachfront promenade.

    Wow, so cool to see variety of birds, my friend. TO see the woodpecker feeding the chicks is awesome. Great.

      Which part of the world are you travelling from? (If you don't mind sharing). Wish you luck for good weather and hope you are able to meet many wildlife here. Thanks for watching.

      @kimpriority I am from Malta. Small state in Europe. Will appreciate if you send me a 5 day wildlife photography itinerary in Singapore. I will start with Singapore Botanic gardens or Pasir Ris. Should I visit Mandai Bird Park? I really wish to get a shot of The Philippine Eagle there.

      1. Yes, Singapore Botanic Garden is highly recommended since most migratory bird likes to visit Healing/Fragrant Garden. A good place to meet local birders and asked for good birding places for eg. any interesting birds in which garden at the time of your visit. (Best to avoid Sundays as it will be full of people having picnic there).
      2. I have not been to the Bird Paradise in Mandai. So far, 3 birders have shared with me that it is worth visiting even with the price tag. So I guess it is worth visiting.
      3. Pasir Ris Park is getting quiet nowadays but I still love this place for the mangrove boardwalk and walking the park with old trees and trying my luck spotting the Spotted Wood & Buffyfish Owl. There are no owls nesting at this moment(not sure about Nov), so it can be challenging spotting them. Well, the very common birds like sunbirds, bulbuls and collared kingfisher can still be spotted there.
      4. Jurong Lake Gardens is my another favourite. I usually explore the Southern Promenade, Heron Island, Rasau Walk, Garden House (for the nightjar), walking next to the river all the way to Forest Ramble & Clusia Clove.
      5. Bidadari Park is small and very accessible. You may want to visit in the morning, continued to Windsor Nature Park in the afternoon after lunch.
      6. Tampines Econ Green is another nice place to visit in the morning. But there is no toilet there, the toilet at Sun Plaza Park is undergoing renovation now.
      7. If you like waterbirds, Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve is a good place to visit since it is the migratory season in Nov.
      8. The park usually turns quiet between 12pm to 2pm. The best time for us to have lunch LOL.
      Above are some of my tips, hope it is good for you and most importantly, lets hope the weather is kind to you. Otherwise..... Good luck is what you need LOL.

      @kimpriority I think Sungei Buloh is where all the big action is. What about the Quarries? Chances on seeing The Asian Darter during November?

      @@marcuscaruana6772 I don't think I can answer this. Share with you this link. Its the Bird Sightings group that I follow. Kind people sharing what they sighted daily. May be a little slow to chase after a bird but still useful for me since I don't chase birds. facebook.com/groups/birdsightings. Perhaps if you join this group, you will be able to find the answers you have before you fly to Singapore. Also, Singapore wildlife community is a friendly one. Do ask around when you meet bird photographers when you are here. I am very sure they are happy to share with you on where is the best happening during the time you visit.

      Hello Lithe. Welcome to Singapore again. Do you mind sharing which part of the world are you flying from?
      As for your question ... In general, Singapore Botanic Gardens is a good place for birding. With the migrating season now, we can spot more birds too. The garden is big, so we can try our luck from one garden to another. But since they are wildlife...we need to manage our expectations. Weather can also be another factor affecting the birds coming out. My apology I don't think I can answer your question. Lets hope the weather is kind to you when you are here, so you will be able to meet as many birds during your coming trip regardless which garden you visit. Cheers.
