Night Walk: Fun with Nocturnal Animals at the Green Rail Corridor


Date : 21 Apr 2022
Time : 7.20pm - 9.30pm
Location : Green Rail Corridor

NSS Members only - Registration Needed

Join NSS Education Committee Vice Chairperson and Professional Nature Guide Gloria Seow to see the iconic Green Rail Corridor in a new light at night as it comes alive with charming nocturnal wildlife. The natural stream here flows down from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and hosts the Malayan Giant Frog, Common Walking Catfish, Lowland Freshwater Crab, Ghost Shrimp and various fish and frog species. The Common Palm Civet (‘musang’) is a possibility, especially with the many Yellow Stem Fig trees providing a source of food. Under UV light, watch plants, fungi, lichens and insects fluoresce gorgeous shades of red, purple, yellow and blue. Other possible sightings include the shy Malayan Box Terrapin, the stunning Gold-ringed Cat Snake, the occasional Colugo, as well as owls, centipedes, fireflies, nightjars, and various bat species hunting or foraging in the cool nightscape.
