Bidadari is a birdwatching wonderland. It was a cemetery, yet it retains much of its rustic charms. Read more about it here. Many bird-watches come here to see the flycatchers and other exotic birds.
Here are some pictures taken during two recent trips to the defunct cemetery.

Occasionally, there will be birds of prey visiting the area. Spotted a Changeable Hawk during my visit on 8 Nov.

| The Changeable Hawk was bobbing its head, presumably checking out the distance between us. |
Hope not too much development will happen on this little piece of natural haven. I shall go there more often in case it disappears one day...
All photos taken with the Nikon D750 and Tamron 150-600mm.
