Did you know that Singapore is part of the East-Asian Flyway, a key migratory route used by birds flying south for the winter? To capture the peak bird migration season from September to November, Leica is partnering with The Untamed Paths—an organisation specialising in immersive guided walks and educational workshops focused on biodiversity. Together, we will introduce you to some of our avian cohabitants and share with you the essentials of birdwatching. Learn how to effectively spot and identify birds using the Leica Sport Optics!
What to Expect:
Awaken your adventurous spirit and dive into a birdwatching experience with Leica Sport Optics at Thomson Nature Park, where diverse bird species thrive in this lush forest!
The adventure begins at the Leica Store at Raffles Hotel Arcade, where you will receive professional tips, gain a deeper understanding of Singapore's avian environment and discover how Leica Sport Optics is able to enhance your birdwatching experience by getting closer to nature.
Next, embark on the migratory bird trail, where Leica Sport Optics offers a closer look at the lives of migratory species. Explore how the reserve’s mudflats act as vital “refuelling points” for these birds to feed and rest.
Round-trip transportation between the Leica Store at Raffles Hotel Arcade and Thomson Nature Park will be provided.
