A Nursery Rhyme.....
What are little girls made of ?
Sugar and spice, and everything nice.
That's what little girls are made of.
What are little boys made of ?
Snips and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails.
That's what little boys are made of.
And what's Sungei Buloh made of ?
There are walking tracks around the reserve for visitors to get up close with wildlife. To explore the entire reserve may take 4 to 5 hours. We recommend that you bring along water, an umbrella, a camera, wear sunscreen and apply insect repellant when you visit.
We continued our exploration on the path. Along these paths are observation and look-out points (or huts) for visitors to rest, take in the scene and just observe the wildlife in its natural environment. The crabs build hollowed "mud tower" and feed right at the exit of their homes and they can be seen on both sides of the path.
I did not expect to see horseshoe crabs in the reserve but was quite excited to observe them. We took a couple of pictures while they are mating. Opps so sorry for the intrusion....
You can view a video presentation at the Visitor Centre theatre at the entrance of the Reserve. It gives an overview of the park and describes the wildlife inhabitants. You can do this before or after your walk but just look out of the sceening time.Overall, a great outdoor activity and leisurely walk for nature enthusiasts. Cheers....
The Greens, The Greys and the Gold Sun Rays.
That's what Sungei Buloh is made of.
Sungei Buloh or Bamboo River in malay is a wetland reserve located on the north western corner of Singapore. Covering 130 ha of mangrove forest, wetland wildlife like crabs, mudskipper and monitor lizards call this home. Migratory birds also spend some time in Sungei Buloh.

We recommend that you bring along water, an umbrella, a camera, wear sunscreen and apply insect repellant when you visit. My wife and I encountered our first "wetland inhabitant" at the start of our walk. A monitor lizard climbed onto the wooden boardwalk and crossed our path leaving behind its footprint, a reminder that we are entering its territory.

They can be resting on logs or in shallow pools of water on the mudflats. I took a couple of pictures of a mudskipper which showed off the blue coloured spots on the body.
