For years, Little Grebes and Common Moorhens have made their homes in Lorong Halus, an old rubbish dump site. Grassland birds like the Yellow-bellied Prinia, various Munias, Baya Weaver, Long-tailed Shrike and more thrive here. Under the ABC (Active, Beautiful, Clean) waters programme, PUB recently completed works to create ‘Halus Wetlands’, to help purify run-offs from the dump site. This will be opened to the public in early March. Come join veteran birder Alfred Chia in an enjoyable morning of sights and sounds presented by these birds. The walk is open to members and non-members, subject to a maximum of 30 participants.
Registration is required. Please send a completed All Purpose Form to the Nature Society (Singapore) office by 25 March 2011.
Time: 7.30am. Meet at Pasir Ris Industrial Drive 1 (opposite the Heavy Vehicle Park).
