i always make it known to my friends that the early birds to sungei buloh - one friend pronounced it as 'sungei bulu' - need not have to pay admission charges, even on weekends. that is, if you reach the place before 8.30 a.m. anyway, the admission charge for an adult on weekends is s$1.00. on other days, except public holidays, it is free admission.
you have to be appropriately attired and armed if you are moving around. insect repellent is a must because of the swarms of mosquitoes. if you are scared of big lizards, this is not the place to be in. during my walk this morning, i encountered five monitor lizards, one of them more than a metre long.
it is such a waste. we have such well-maintained and wonderful nature reserves in singapore and yet the people are not out there to enjoy and take advantage of it. during my entire walk, i met one other person only.
i am not much of a bird man, so i did not equip myself with a pair of binoculars. saw mainly egrets, herons and some other birds which i could not identify.
