Beautiful shots of the birds of MOG. :)

Although I have only gone to MOG once, all that is said about MOG is true; friendly staff, beautiful setting, important site for resident birds. If I am not wrong, MOG is the nesting site for several key bird species in Singapore.

Does anyone have a bird count and species list done in MOG? Would that help?
 

Hi folks, I would like to contribute some of my favourite images I took during an outing with my kakis to MOG. It was our first trip there. Armed with my P&S Sony H50 and tried very hard to capture these. Even the images are not tack sharp, I was quite happy with my first step to photography. So please accept my contribution....

Good choice of place. MOG is THE place where various species of wild birds, macro subjects such as flowers, plants, insects, dragonflies, snails etc etc can be found in a small foot print. It is the place I would bring people who are interested in bird photography to. Wild birds and pao jiah, where to find?

Others reading this thread, please contribute images taken at MOG so that those uninformed can make informed decisions through our passion and eyes.:)
 

i have brought quite a number of overseas friends to this place for birding and they always leave the place smiling

Yes indeed I have foung that this is a much loved place and in my limited time in Birding I just wondered why I have spent so little time there.

Don't seems to know how to use the new flickr link.

Post when figured out.
