We started our Singapore bird list at Pasir Ris and leaving the train station we were delighted to see several Cattle Egrets on the grass and several photographers. Walking beside the Pasir Ris Park Connector we watched otters playing in the water. It is also a good location for observing otters, squirrels and monitors.
