Birdwatching in Pulau Ubin during Covid-19 Phase 2 Opening

Going to Ubin during Public Holidays or weekends are tough as there are huge crowds going there to experience nature or just to do something different. During Phase 2 of reopening, like many places, there are safe distancing measures in place. Other than wearing of mask, the boat ride now cost $4 one-way and a maximum of 9 pax can only board per bumboat. As mentioned, if you want to go during weekends and public holidays, be prepared to wait. If you can't wait, why not try the Changi Point Coastal Walk.  I visited Ubin on a weekday and fortunately it was not crowded. My trip was to take a long break and use this opportunity again to check out the birds in Ubin and also explore certain paths that i went through in the past. The weather in the morning was lovely with overcast clouds compared to the previous day with was really hot. It wasn't really a focused trip on birdwatching for me, but i still managed to catch sight of some of bird life and wildlife here, including the Stork-billed Kingfisher and White rumped Sharma, Collared Kingfisher, Wild Boars, Mudskippers and Fiddler Crabs.
