Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is where mangroves and wetland wildlife thrive.
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is set in a 130 hectars of mangrove, mudflats, pond and secondary forest. It is home to unique plants and animals and migratory birds.
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a very good place for birdwatching especially between Sep and Mar where you can see migratory shorebirds or waders.
You could watch a 13 mins video show at the small theatrette. It will show you what to look out for when you go on your own walk.
There are 4 routes to choose from.
Route 1 - a 3km long route. Enjoy the tranquility and peace f the mangrove habitat. You will see lots of huge monitor lizards along the way.
Route 2 - a 5km long route which will lead you to the tower hide and prawn pond. You will walk on the longest boardwalk of the reserve.
Route 3 - a 7km route which will lead you the the inhibitants of the freshwater habitat.
Mangrove Boardwalk - a short 500m walk through the mangrove without getting your feet wet or muddy. This is my favourtie because we were lucky to spot a crocodile (foxcroc44 (dave) spotted it 1st). We were caught in a heavy downpur and had to hid under the shelter.

Sungei Buloh, a mangrove and wetlands reserve located in the North-west of Singapore is a good spot for bird watching and observation of the mangrove swamp habitat.
There may be different migratory birds during different parts of the year. Commonly sighted birds are the kingfisher and different species of herons.
As part of the circuit is unsheltered, bring the hats and umbrellas if you do not wish to get scorched.

Low tide at Sungei Buloh is a good time to observe the floral and fauna of the mangrove swamp floors.
Floral - aerial roots of mangrove, fallen tree trunks and lichen covered mangrove floors.
Fauna - monitor lizards, crabs, mudskippers, mud lobsters (very difficult to spot, though their homes of upturned mounds of mud are spotted everywhere), angler fish and more.
