People in Tanjong Pagar: at least 3 Himalayan Vultures (very rare occasional visitors to Singapore) have been spotted in the vicinity of Orchid Hotel. If you see some really big birds flying high up, it's probably them. Also, be prepared for the crowd of photographers.
The Himalayan Vulture is Asia's 2nd largest vulture, with a wingspan that can supposedly reach 3.1 metres. It's a rare migrant that makes an appearance in Singapore every few years. More info about this species here: bit.ly/2s3fknw
