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.

There are 8 different species of kingfishers here. The top photo is a Stockbill Kingfisher feeding on a fish. Stockbill is the biggest of all the kingfishers here. Bottom photo is a White Collar Kingfisher emerging from the water after diving in for a catch.
