Migratory Bird Walk at Kranji Marshes

November 16 @ 7:30 am - 11:00 am

$15

Open to the Public

Join Yong Ding Li from NSS Bird Group at Kranji Marshes to see some of our regular, long-distance visitors from across Asia.  At this ramble, Ding Li will introduce participants to the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, Singapore’s geographical position as part of this massive flyway, and the many migratory species that use it.  Kranji Marshes is the perfect place to be acquainted with several of our regular migrants, including the Barn Swallow, Yellow-rumped Flycatcher, Arctic Warbler, and with a bit of luck, you might get to observe reed warblers and even the Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler.  To top it all, you may also get to observe raptor migration, and several species of migratory waterbirds, including the Wood Sandpiper.
