Putrajaya Wetland is considered one of the largest constructed wetland in the tropics when it was first built in the late 90s. Since then, more than 100 species of local and migratory birds have been recorded in this area. The 18 meters look-out tower is the best spot to see migratory raptors passing through the wetland park. Walk along the nature trails to look for birds that perch and feed on fruiting and flowering plants. Be sure to examine the wetland cells in the early morning, heron, egret, bittern, and swamphen can be hiding among the reeds. With patience, there will be opportunities for bird photography too.
