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.

The migratory birds arrived
By early August, the migratory birds will arrive. The sandpipers, plovers and wimbrels are all over the wetland. They fly in separate distinct flocks in and out of the wetland.
