When someone told me about this paddle into the Mandai mangroves concentrated around Sungai Mandai Besar and Kechil, I knew I just had to try this paddle. The mangroves are an Important Bird Area and a stop over for bird species who find a warm refuge during the bitter winter months of the Northern hemisphere.
We started off early and headed north into the mangroves. The paddle was easy with some fun finding our way through the mangroves without entangled in them.
We spotted grey herons, green and red shanks and kingfishers. I only know these names as my fellow paddlers were avid birders with the Nature Society of Singapore.
I will paddle here again. The waters, the birds, getting away from it all. These reasons beckon me to return.
