I’ve not visited the Jurong Bird Park for quite a long time and going through the pictures I’ve taken, it sure brings back a lot of fond memories about the place. It almost seems like just yesterday that I was there.
One spectacular bird species which I fondly remember are the Mandarin ducks. They look so different from the ducks I know. I could spend several hours just looking at them. They come in different colors.
Sadly in the wild, there are not many mandarin ducks around left due to the destruction of their habitats especially in China, Japan and eastern Russia. They live in the wooded areas near shallow lakes and marshes.
These were taken in 2002.
