Dear K Y
Thanks a lot. I've copied the names of locations and attached to my Singapore bird book.
It looks you have visited a lot of places and done a lot of hard work that involved travelling
around the city.
Permit me to ask when you visited the city of Singapore, for the storks probably not residents.
Thank you for the information about the dates you were in Singapore.

Re: Did you go with any birding guide, and if so, who?
No, I go alone. I bought two books from Amazon, however, it is not quite useful for knowing good birding places.
I search information on the local and oversea forums to prepare my trip. I also PM those who have been Singapore for birds before for suggestion. Author: Ronaldo Time: 28/12/2010 21:54
Hi there,
I visit Singapore quite frequently and can recommend you some nice locations with always surprises, even if I am not resident birdwatcher.
First is Sungei Buloh, for waders, raptors and special birds (e.g. Storks frequently seen there).
Second is Bukit Timah, for forest birds (very hard to see...).
Third is Botanic Gardens, the lake and the forest close to the Ginger Garden, probably the best places.
Let me know if any question
