One of the unique things to do here at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is, surprisingly, to do bird watching. The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a major transit point of birds from the far north migrating southwards to warmer climates. It is here where these birds rest and feed in the rich westlands that is Sungei Buloh. The park itself provides visitors with a viewing area. Most of the time, these viewing decks are huts with a viewing hole where observers can remain mostly hidden from the birds.
We came across one of these bird watching huts and started to view the birds in one of the wetlands. You can tell that you are near one from the noise that the birds are making. There were a large number of birds at that time but most of them were feeding quite far away from the observation hut. It was time to make use of my zoom lens that fortunately, gave me a better view of the birds. What is interesting is that this large number of birds if not even half of what a peak season will be. It seemed that we went there at the wrong time of the year. November is probably the best month to visit these wetlands to witness the birds in action.
