The elusive waterhen at Punggol Waterway Park, 2 Nov 2022, 4PM  PHOTOGRPAHY TIP. The waterhen walked from the left to right. I placed my tripod to his right, focus on his eye when he came into an unobstructed view. I took over 100 images to get a sharp image of his eye.   Canon R5, tripod, AV Mode, F/11, ISO 100TO BUY PHOTO: www.shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets  

The Punggol Waterway Park is a serene recreational place built by the authorities beside a river for the public. Families go there with their children to appreciate the greenery and to the new One Punggol Mall have food and beverage. Jogging, cycling, brisk walking and kayaking are some of the recreational activities there.

Waterhen in Yishun Pond Park

 

 

A photo of a White-breasted waterhen I photographed at Yishun Pond Park on 31 Oct 2025 to say "good morning". It is a shy waterbird but this bird is used to pedestrians, people and cyclists walking beside the Yishun Pond daily. Still it keeps a safe distance and is alert as there are water monitor lizards lurking around. To get sharp image, focus on eye. I used a TRIPOD. Canon R5, 105mm, 1 over 2000 sec, f over 4.5, ISO 4000.
