Singapore 2025

 Two days in Singapore before travelling home were well worth the effort.Spectacular modern high rise  alongside the old Chinese quarter,and the splendid light show at night made for anmemorable experience.

Again not much room for wildlife though I did see a White Bellied Sea Eagle and a Hooded Oriole,apart from that just House Crows and Common Mynahs.
