SINGAPORE: Local fish farms are not affected by the oil spill incident on June 14 and local fish remains safe to eat, said the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
Having close to 900 bird species, of which 91 are either endemic or near endemic , Malaysia ’s expansive rainforests serve as a great destination for birdwatching. In fact, the country is one of the most popular places in South-East Asia for this activity.
“For folks who want to embark on a ‘birding journey’, you do not have to stray far from home,” said Penang-born Choy Wai Mun, 50.Choy has been fond of animals since he was a young boy, and said that it was his love for wildlife that sparked his interest in birding. In fact, he said that it was a single birding trip when he was still a teenager that got him hooked on the hobby.
Afiq started his birding adventure in 2019, when he participated in a bird race held in Putrajaya. “Regardless of where you are, you are bound to encounter some birds. My amazing discovery of birds in my backyard was mostly aided by field guides.” “Interestingly, these melodious bird calls are not just soothing to the ear, they can also tell you the identity of the birds. There are apps, such as Merlin, that can help you distinguish the birds through their calls,” Afiq shared.There is no better way to learn about birding than joining a group where you get to meet like-minded people and exchange experiences, Choy said.
Like Ecomy, Nest is also working with Tourism Malaysia to promote the country as a premiere birding destination.Essential tips The birders said to steer away from wearing white as it reflects light, which can scare off the birds. They also said that right after dawn and late afternoons are the best times to go birding.
“On weekdays I did it outside my house after work, while on the weekends, I went into the forest. I recorded many species of our avian friends, such as the grey-breasted babbler, rufous-tailed shama and olive-backed woodpecker,” he revealed.
