We walked from the entrance.  Both of them were seen around the Zig-Zag Bridge. The Wooderpecker was found before the Bridge and the Flowerpecker was found after the Bridge.  After the Flowerpecker, a Malayan Monitor Lizard was found.

I also went to Botanic Gardens and the photos are reviewing. Blue-throated Bee-eater and Brahminy Kite were found.  Hope this will help in planning your trip.
