Singapore is a great location for observing Kingfishers and there are several species to observe. Our first encounter with a White-throated Kingfisher in Singapore in March was at Gardens by the Bay , but it was a brief observation in poor light. We also observed the White-throated Kingfisher at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

During our three weeks of bird-watching in Singapore we didn’t only encounter large birds like the Asian Openbill and the Oriental Pied Hornbill. The trees are so tall in Singapore that it could be challenging looking high up into the canopy, but the Sunda Pygmy Woodpecker was mostly found on the trunks and branches.

During our three weeks of birding in Singapore in March we were surprised that we did not encounter White-crested Laughingthrush – Garrulax leucolophus more often. If you are heading to Singapore in search of White-crested Laughingthrush it appears that Kent Ridge Park is one of the more reliable places to go looking for them.
