The hidden drama of urban wetlands in Singapore
In short: Explore the secret lives of wildlife within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This year-long observation captures the high-stakes survival, courtship rituals, and migratory arrivals of birds living in an urban paradise.
The footage tracks the daily cycles of species inhabiting the Singapore Botanic Gardens' lakes and wetlands. It highlights the contrasting struggles of different birds: a white-breasted waterhen navigating predator evasion and complex courtship, and orphaned lesser whistling ducklings attempting to survive without maternal care.
As seasons shift, the gardens host migratory birds that introduce vibrant colors and acrobatic displays. The series emphasizes how these small, often overlooked creatures maintain a thriving community in a bustling city environment.
