I last visited Kranji war memorial back in April 2007. It’s seem an even prettier place with workers constantly tending to the graves.

One of the many Hides where birds watchers or photographers can use to do great spotting or photography.

Something new tried out. Handing the whole pano setup for this to get closer to the roots and under the wooden boardwalk while it’s low tide within the mangrove area.

Undergoing some improvement when we visited. On the way up, met a friendly resident of the Tower.

The Aerie, the lookout tower, allows visitors to get a commanding view of SBWR from a high vantage point. Designed in steel and timber, the 18-metre high lookout tower can accommodate up to 30 people within a tree-house like environment. The concrete-platform tower is enclosed by timber louvres for ventilation and offers a visual screen so that birds nearby are not startled by human presence in the tower. Most of the work has been prefabricated off-site and assembled very quickly on-site to create minimal impact on the environment during construction.
