Goedemorgen Mastodonians. We went hiking this morning to check out the flora and fauna of MacRitchie Reservoir.

MacRitchie Reservoir is Singapore's oldest reservoir. The reservoir was completed in 1868 by impounding water from an earth embankment, and was then known as the Impounding Reservoir or Thomson Reservoir.

Singapore is home for over 380 bird species, 2100 native plant species and 320 butterfly species. This video gives a glimpse of our rich biodiversity.

Even the Smooth Coated Otters and the Oriental Pied Hornbill, both listed as "critically endangered", have made our Garden City their home. Many thanks to our nature groups and my NParks.
