今年七月，马来亚铁路局将中断通往Tanjng Pagar的运输服务。这段纵贯新加坡南北的铁路线将归还新加坡政府。新加坡自然协会提议保留这条绿色走廊，同时向公众宣传此提议的重要性。上周六，自然协会组织了一次徒步活动，让大家领略新加坡少有的铁路沿线风景。谢谢汉中的邀请。
This July, the land along the railway will be returned to Singapore government and the usage of this land is still unknown. Nature Society Singapore (NSS) proposed to keep this unique and invaluable green corridor. Some NSS members set up http://www.facebook.com/#!/thegreencorridor and hope more public can understand and support this proposal. Last Saturday, NSS organized a trip along a 2 km railway near Clementi. Thanks Han Zhong for the invitation and we are really enjoying the trip and the beauty of this green corridor. I hope the readers of this blog can also take some time to visit there:
Old Bridge
Assemble at the end of Faber Drive
This part of railway has been cleared and LTA planed to build a road for International Business Park. NSS hope LTA can do some adjustment and keep this part of green corridor.
A banyan tree grows in the middle of this railway
Other trees also try their best to find space here
birds love trees along the green corridor and we love birds
Here is a beautiful pond and a Cinnamon Bittern (
Ixobrychus cinnamomeus) was spotted

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)
This grey heron keeps on chasing the purple heron for around half an hour, maybe just for fun or for territory
Finally, this Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) has a nice time in this small pond
Little heron{Butorides striatus} caught a fish
and carry it onto a tree, but the fish is too big for this bird
Yellow Bittern (Ixobrychus sinensis)
