What A Day!

My Awesome Sungei Buloh Visit

It was definitely a smashing experience. We not only saw the usual monitors, archerfish, needlefish and birds. There were a number of squirrels and fantastic spiders. The giant mudskippers were really cute, especially the way they move on land.

We also spotted two Milky Storks. For the first time on a mangrove walk, we saw TWO snakes. Besides the square crabs, we also saw fiddler crabs and the really funny sesarmine crabs. One of them was holding a twig like a rifle! Best of all, I spotted the smooth otter.

Here are some pictures we took, and look out for video clips which are coming right up:





Monitor lizard basking in a "spa environment". Mum did not see it and walked right onto the platform!




Look at the patterns on this spider's web.








Well-camouflaged giant mudskipper




The Milky Stock was foraging for food alone.

And here are the square crab and the sesarmine crab:
