Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve!
This is our very first trip to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, which is also known as the Kranji Nature Trail. None of us had ever frequented it and we are pretty sure that not many of you have been there as well. Hence, let us together unveil the wonders that make up this nature reserve.
Before we start, here are several quick facts on the history of Sungei Buloh.
Upon entering the nature park, we were greeted by friendly and helpful staffs seated at the information counter. It was also there that we managed to get our hands on a map of the trail which led us to numerous feasts for both our eyes and minds.
This was our first stop! Take a look at these roots, they are not the usual kinds you see in a typical garden. In actual fact however, these roots are very common, and are normal sight in a wetland reserve.
Continuing our trail, look at what we saw! Oh gosh! Such pretty flowers, shivering with sheer vibrance, just look at those colours. We apologise for the substandard picture quality, the pictures below really do not do those flowers any justice. (Thanks for the constant complaining of the picture quality George :P)
There are a lot more of similarly beautiful flowers inhabiting the area. However, our team mate George insisted that it would be a monstrous injustice towards them if we continued posting such photos. So please, do go there and marvel at their elegance for yourselves!
Next up, birds! Check out those flurry feathered creatures, they can most certainly create delightful symphonies with their constant chirping. Their singing can be heard all day long, at every inch and corner of the nature reserve. Despite the hot and humid weather, the atmosphere there was relatively calming and relaxing thanks to their sweet melodies. Addtionally, the colour and shape variance that they come in make them wonderful creatures to admire.
Oh, did you know that the Sungei Buloh Wetland reserve is recognized as a site of international importance for migratory birds? That means that all these little birds are in fact, one of the main attraction of this wetland reserve.
Birds and flowers aside, we spotted a spectrum of insects too. (Warning: the following pictures might freaking out some insect haters out there.) Just take a look! These definitely are not your typical run in the mill kind of insects that one will find in neighborhood gardens and parks.
You have just got to love those butterflies. The vibrant colours, the endless fluttering and flirting with beautiful flowers, a wonderful scene indeed.
