Birds are well-loved for their colourful plumage, melodious songs and graceful flight. Unknown to many, Singapore supports a rich variety of over 400 bird species.
Come discover the vibrant world of our feathered friends through the eyes of birders and artists in Singapore through this exhibition. These include that of
Chris Hails and
Frank Jarvis, who collaborated to publish
Birds of Singapore. Find out how the local birding scene has grown, uncover what birding really entails and maybe, you can be a birder too.
*The CDL Green Gallery is closed every last Tuesday of the month. If the closure day falls on a public holiday, the closure will be moved to the following working day.
