SINGAPORE: Nature lovers now have a guide to enhance their bird-watching experience.
A book was launched Saturday by the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
It features a photographic guide on the different bird species that have been sighted at the reserve since 1988.
The book also contains information on the migratory birds - where they come from and when they can be sighted.
As many as 60 different species can be spotted in a single day during the annual migratory season between September and March.
Some of the birds include globally threatened species like the Chinese Egret and Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher.
The book is available at the visitor counters of the wetland reserve, Pulau Ubin and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
