Lying at the southernmost tip of the Asia land mass, extended by the Malayan peninsula, is a little gem of a bird sanctuary. The Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve is tucked at the far western corner of the Singapore island and accessible within 30 mins from the buzzling city centre. This is a 130 hectares of oasis for migratory birds escaping the harsh winters as far north as the Asian tundra. Here is a tropical paradise of peace and tranquility.

Golden and bumblebee dragonflies
The golden dragonfly is coated with a very nice golden colour. Looks like a dragon in a way.
The bumblebee dragonfly is quite exceptional. It didn't linger around the water or ponds but among the lallangs and bushes. Its rear set of wings was lower than the front set, like a bi plane. And the pattern was similar to that of a bumble bee.
