The birds at Bandar Tasik Puteri

Look at this picture. Can you see the white spots all over the green? I bet you can. It's just perhaps you are not sure what it is. For information the white spots are birds, plenty of birds. I took this picture just about a week ago at the highway leading to the residential area of Bandar Tasik Puteri where I haven been staying for the last 4 months.

The area is situated between the Selangor small towns of Kundang and Batu Arang. Bandar Tasik Puteri was opened just under 10 years ago and now has a population of about 20,000 people I'm told. One thing I like about this area is its vast expanse of land. Unlike most residential areas of the same class I've been at, it is not congested and is full of green.

One of the most notable green is the one seen in this picture. Covering a few acres, it is practically a wetland with tracks of swamps or marsh. It happens that this particular area is a favourite for several species of migratory birds to stop and converge at. I don't know the names of the birds but you should see it for yourself.

I bet there's not many area in Malaysia which has this number of population of birds. And this one happened to be on the way to where I now live. That's all...
