Sungei Buloh, Singapore’s very first and only, Wetland Nature Reserve opened on the 6th of December 1993.
It is a haven for migrating birds and a favorite spot for Birdwatchers during the migrating season.
It is only fitting that we place our very first cache here, as one of the creators of this cache is a fond birdwatcher.
Our cache will take you on an adventure around Sungei Buloh, where you may either just focus on completing this cache, or enjoy watching the birds along the way. (Oh yes, and ‘Beware of the crocodiles!’)
The Globetrotting Bebbis would be thrilled if you mention any of your bird sightings and other wildlife observations when you log your visit.
Note: The cache container is only big enough to hold a log stip, so bring your own pen!
The final coordinates have been changed and the original fragile container has been replaced. Hoping this cache will not disappear so easily from the new location..
The cache can only be accessed from 7.30am to 7.00pm
The published coordinates, take you to the entrance where your Birding adventure begins.
Collect a park map at the entrance, you will need it along the way to find the clues.

1. The average size of the following birds are:

Now that you have found all of the necessary clues, Solve the following equations:
q = B + E
r = (G - E) x F
s= F - D
x = C - E
y = F – D
z = F + (A x D)
The final coordinates are at: N 01˚ q.rs E 103˚ x.yz
