Bird Watch

(A view point inside the garden)
I had been to a bird watching trip in the wee hours of sunday morning at the Singapore Botanic Garden organized by Nature Trekker a local amateur bird watching group. This was my first time experience in bird watching and all you need is a lot of patience, an admiration for birds and a fascintion for nature. (Click on the images to get a closer view. The park had a wonderful jungle like setting to provide a habitat for the birds. The habitat is well preserved and maintained inside the garden. Such a place near the hustle and bustle of the city is quite unexpected. Thanks to the guide who took us around the park for two hours and helped us to see some of the species of birds which i dint know ever existed. But unfortunately couldn't capture those birds in the camera because we were quite far off and moreover couldn't get a panoramic view of them through the camera lens. So im just uploading the pictures of ducks i captured near the pond.Left: Mandarin ducks waddling through the troughs of water)

P.S. : Dont mind the date. I dint change the date while taking the pic.
