Hi all I will be in Singapore for work next week but for once I will have a full free day (Saturday) to do some birding rather than my usual problem of trying to sneak in some quick sessions in the short gaps between daylight hours and office hours. I’ve been looking at various sites on the net, including NSS Singapore (no outing that weekend), to work out places to go and I’m thinking that two areas probably worth focusing on are : Sungei Buloh Central Catchment/MacRitchie Reservoirs I think getting to SB is straightforward, but is it easy to get from one to the other (or is taxi the best option)? Any recommended areas specifically at Central Catchment/MacRitchie as it seems there are several associated parks in the area. Sunday morning (also free until about 10:30) I’ll go to the Botanic Gardens if I’m feeling up for it – been there before but it’s very pleasant. What state of tide works best for Sungei Buloh? The day I have free the tide is low at 7:30am (as centre opens) and high at 1:30pm. From what I’ve read, ideally I think I’d want to be there 1st thing before it gets too busy. I’m also going to look at birding pals to see who may be around but if anybody has a pal they have been out with before that they’d recommend I’m all ears.
