I thought a large number of these escaped from the bird park years ago? I think it was reported in the news; I remember that I was about Primary 3 then, about 7 years ago then.

I was wondering what is the name of the bird as well!! I thought it was a migratory bird coz we don’t usually see it in singapore but recently the number has kind of increased and some of them are kind of staying… I see them a lot in NUS and at my old place at Hougang, near the river. They’re really pretty!
and yes they can fly. I’ve seen them fly a lot of times.
so it’s an egret/white heron, huh? well, finally! A name to this species! =D

i see those in great large groups when i take 72 towards Hougang all the time. They like, conjugate and watch another one of them dive into the long gao for fish. it’s hilarious.

lol… I see them everyday on my way to “work” when I walk to JE MRT station… BTW, these birds love it when those bangladeshi workers cut the grass with those grass cutter machines… Apparently it exposes their food, whatever that is…

I see these birds occasionally around Sengkang area. They seem to have appeared here since around 2004 or so imo.

White Herons can be found anywhere in these parts (west Singapore). Especially at the big longkang running through Ghim Moh down to Clementi, and the canal that leads out from there.

Weird birds always on the West side of Singapore. I suppose which is why the Jurong Bird Park is there too. Reminds me of the time when 10 years ago, there were tons of mynahs and very little crows. Now it’s the other way around. Seems like sparrows and pigeons are rare too.
