Nice to see a good variety of birds to be seen in the Botanical Gardens - especially as I am flying out to Singapore tomorrow and staying quite near the gardens.
Snow and ice here in the UK!

Hey Mick. Hope you enjoy your stay. I would love to meet you but I will be flying out tonight and won't be back until next week. Yup, you can find a lot of species at the Botanic Gardens. You might be able to see the Band-bellied Crake, which is rare in Singapore.
