 BIRDSBirdwatching is a favourite past-time for many nature-lovers in Singapore, and as a result, the local bird fauna has been relatively well-studied. The prawn ponds and mudflats at the Sungei Buloh Nature Park attract large numbers of migrant wading birds during the northern hemisphere winter months. Strategically located observation hides offer convenient places to watch birds in fairly natural surroundings. Over 100 species of birds are recorded from mangroves and their adjacent mudflats throughout Singapore, but the scope of this booklet allows only a very small fraction to be mentioned. There are now many bird guides to the fauna of Singapore (e.g. by Lim & Gardner, 1997).
