My last birdwatching trip to Bukit Brown was back in June and it was not a fantastic outing. The only major sighting that i saw and got a picture was of the Red-eyed Bulbul. This time around, despite some tombstones distraction, i got to see a few more especially the Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Pin-Striped Tit-Babbler and finally the Changeable Hawk Eagle (pale morph). You often see flocks of starlings in Bukit Brown. While scanning the flock that was perched on a tree, i caught glimpse of the Daurian Starling.
Bukit Brown is not just a cemetery full of history and rich in stories on Singapore's Pioneers. It is a cemetery space that since it closure in 1973 transformed and evolved itself into a magical space with nature making a strong comeback and the bird and wildlife calling Bukit Brown its home.
With the 8 lane highway under construction and noise generated from the traffic flowing through the roads eventually, i hope the nature in place can continue to adapt to the environment damages and changes that is already taking place.
