Dairy Farm Nature Park is one of the places which i seldom venture due to the distance, but today i decided to pay a visit especially the part of the Wallace Education Center. The place can get crowded during the weekends with joggers, hikers and mountain bikers, hence i decided instead to go on a weekday. That decision paid dividends as i manage to see the uncommon Blue-winged Leaf Bird and a Blue eared Kingfisher. Further down the Wallace Education Center, there is a Mulberry Tree that attracts many birds including the Blue-winged Leaf Bird. I manage to get glimpse of both the male and female Blue-winged Leaf Bird. The spotting of the Blue eared Kingfisher was also special as i was making my way back when i met another birder who mentioned the blue eared was spotted at the pond nearby a resting hut.

Will post the rest of the bird and nature pictures of my Diary Farm trip in another blog post. Till then happy birding and stay safe. Do note during this Covid-19 Phase 2 period, nature parks can be very crowded. Plan in advance before making a trip. Check out the
crowds in advance first, and other
notices NParks may have put up for visitors.
Location
The nearest MRT is Hillview MRT and from there, take exit A (Salvation Army exit). It is a nice but long walk. The trails are in general clearly marked, so unlikely you will get lost or have difficulty finding your way around.
