2008 December 7 - Neo Tiew Lane 2

On November 23, we arranged to visit NTL2 on December 7.
It was only on December 6 that we realised Nature Society (Singapore) is also having a walk at the same location and timing.
Not wanting to disappoint some classmates, we went ahead as planned.

Doreen picked me up at our usual pick-up point and we arrived at the meeting place to find a large group of participants for the NSS walk.
We waited for our classmates while the NSS group moved ahead.

Our walk was very slow and leisure. Giving everyone a chance to see the bird whenever it is spotted.
This is the most impressive walk we have had, recording a total of 61 species.
