Mount Echo Park: A Birdwatcher's Paradise
Discover the wings of Singapore with our resident experts
Singapore is more than just a concrete jungle; it is a vital hub for avian biodiversity. Mount Echo Park stands as a testament to this, acting as a lush sanctuary for migratory species and local residents alike. From the rhythmic calls of the Hornbills to the flash of a Kingfisher's blue wing, here are the top 5 spots curated by Aviary Roamers.
The Canopy Walk
Rising above the foliage, the Canopy Walk provides an eye-level view of the forest's upper layers. This is the premier location for spotting the majestic **Oriental Pied Hornbills**. Watch them glide between the massive Rain Trees as they search for fruit and nesting cavities.
The Marshlands
The transition between water and land attracts a vibrant array of waders. The Marshlands are a favorite haunt for **Collared Kingfishers** and **White-breasted Waterhens**. Keep your binoculars ready for movements among the reeds during the golden hour.
The Ancient Fig Tree
In the heart of the park stands a century-old Fig Tree. When in fruit, this single tree becomes a localized epicenter of activity. You can spot everything from **Pink-necked Green Pigeons** to the elusive **Asian Glossy Starlings** in a single morning.
04. Echo Stream Bend
A secluded spot perfect for identifying various species of sunbirds and flowerpeckers who visit the flowering shrubs along the water.
05. The West Ridge Overlook
The best spot for raptor watching during migration season. Look up to see Honey Buzzards and Sea Eagles catching the thermals.
