On the last day of Year 2016, I brought my family to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Not many tourists know of this "secret hideout" which is surprisingly rich in wild life in our little country. We got to see many migratory birds which flown here from all over the globe to seek refuge from the harsh winter during this period of time.
I managed to capture this photo on this sea bird perching on the inserted sticks of the sea coastline, looking intensely into the water and waiting patiently for the right moment to strike for it's food. A research later revealed it is a Von Schrenck's bittern. Amazingly, it breeds in China and Siberia from March to July, and Japan from May to August and spends it's winter in South East Asia. In this case, it is in our humble Singapore.
I am pretty impressed by this little bird's determination and patience to being manage to make this far from where it is originated. We have much to learn from this little specie.
Last but not least, I like to wish everyone A Very Happy New Year 2017. May All Your Wishes Come True!

Truth be told, the principle air terminal serving the city is adequately halfway situated to guarantee that the primary concerns of interest in the city are something like a short ride away on open transportation or a taxi. The utilization of Prague air terminal exchanges, which make no stops other than the ones mentioned by the client, can speed this cycle up significantly further, allowing guests to the Czech Republic simple admittance to some or all of the social and touristic features definite underneath. https://www.tripindicator.com/best-airport-transfers-prague-city.html
