Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

A far picture of a bird.Must be lonely.



Agnes has a go at identifying bird calls



What Lies Beneath. A Monitor Lizard takes an afternoon swim.



A monitor lizard makes like a tortoise.



An hour later..still hungry...



An actual tortoise wonders what the commotion is all about.



Ponders the wisdom of withdrawing into his shell.



Oscar and Bug-Eye were not on talking terms after Oscar left the toilet seat up.



... and I felt something was amiss....



Some of the drawings done by kids used to decorate the ceiling of one of the rest huts.



A closer look....



One of the many pictures I took of pretty looking reflections and sceneries.



Another pwetty pwecture.....bwaaa...



watcha lookin at?



anuther pwetty refrection??



und mure of the sume....




Some spotty looking beetles we found nestled on a cluster of leaves.




A rather anal-retentive sand pup.



I always thought mudskippers were more...umm....skippy!



A sexy looking female acts all helpless...



Focus is the key to success....



Wait...the food is way over there. I am way over here. I am sure if I stare at it long enough it will get close enough to eat...



Marcus the Mudskipper wasn't too pleased with the mudpie. It tasted too....errrr....muddy.



Jack worked on his tan all afternoon.



"And they said this mud treatment would open up my pores and give me better skin..."



"Room service!!"



Come here...fishy...fishy...fishy.....



Don't I look cool with my feathers slicked back and I balance on one leg?I hear the chicks dig this kind of stuff.



(an hour later), notice the leg position now.

I finally managed to get a reasonable picture of a dragonfly.



Agnes acting all cutesey.



"Don't I look great?" ruffle-ruffle



"Hey babe, whats a nice bird like you doing in a place like this?"



Finally Agnes makes it to the bottom of the tower... but not before...



*wheeze*...



*pant pant pant*...



"urrr...it is so steep, leh..."



Feeding time.



and rest time too!



the long road



"Roar!!! Are you scared? Are you? Are you?



Aha!! Found you! Bwahhhahahaha...



Mollusc



more mollusc



even more mollusc



Beware of Buaya



try flipping this picture over. Cool eh?



All that is lacking is a frog to sit on the lily pad.



*drumroll....*



.....and... tadaa.... a water lily in full bloom..well.... sort of....anyway....



another picture of the same water lily



mud formations in the waters



so near yet a world away



prestigious real estate



one of the many hides that dot Sungei Buloh.



a stream on the flats



the waters receded...




even at low tide it was still a joy to behold



The long walk home



left...right....left...right...left....



A nice looking birdie



refuge from the noon day sun



the water monitor is a master of cover and concealment. Problem is he is facing the wrong direction.



"Cheese!"



step one: break glass (check!)
step two: open box with key (check!!)
step three: Turn right knob clockwise (done!). You will hear 2 beeps (beep! beep!)
step four: press side button and say loudly: "Emergency at Hide 1C. Emergency at Hide 1C"
Release side button to listen. If no response repeat step four...



another sighting of Loch Ness?



Wonder what hair conditioner she uses.



An odd addition to the otherwise natural landscape.



another indulgent picture of the interesting terra and reflections at the water's edge



what is it with me and these reflections on the water?



A bird. A nest. A bird in a nest.



Another nest. A weaver bird's probably. No bird this time though.



a birdless nest.



a green at an 18 hole?



what to say? scenery...water...reflection... *yawn*



seems to have something in his mouth... I mean... beak.



is it a cigar? a stick of gum? wait a minute... it's a... STICK!






Leon studies his subject closely...too closely..



Wonder what captured her attention...
