Time to pay another visit to Bukit Brown Cemetery after the completion
of the Lornie Highway. We will explore Bukit Brown for its birds.
Sections of this historical corner of Singapore was closed off for road
construction, but there are still undisturbed areas for birding. Expect
to see a mix of parkland, open country and forest (given the proximity
to the Central Catchment Nature Reserve) birds such as bulbuls, doves,
babblers, flowerpeckers, parakeets, sunbirds and woodpeckers.
