We picked up the bird's nest on the floor along the promenade and brought it back to the office without realizing there was a nestling, until a colleague was shocked to find it on the metal basket.
We were totally speechless because the nestling, with eyes closed, was about an inch long and still breathing. It must have hatched not long ago and there was no way it would or could survive without the mother. With a heavy heart, I can only use this post to dedicate this short write-up on the nestling, as remembrance of its short fleeting life.
After the recent haze and sudden rain, the plants along the Skyline Promenade of Bay East are flowering again. The entire length of the promenade is now covered with vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet from the rainbow and salmon, pink and silver.
The flowering would not last forever and would likely persist for another week or so.
Similarly, over at Bay East, the following are some of the interesting plants or plants that were in bloom:
- Central Grove - Calotropis gigantea with white flowers at car park, Harpullia ramiflora, Nerium oleander, Holmskioldia sanguinea and yellow Casuarina
- Skyline Promenade - Delonix regia, Bougainvillea cultivars and Russelia equisetiformis
- Arrival Grove - Saraca declinata at Promenade Lawn and Megaskepasma erythrochlamys at Visitor's Centre
