Otters @SBWR

After the origami session, we had lunch near the water dispenser where is a good place to spot otters.
We spotted two otters taking naps in the tree shade.
双溪布洛保护区有两大明星动物:湾鳄和水獭。
访客中心的水池是一个观察水獭活动的首选。在这着树荫下的沙坑睡午觉绝对是种享受。这两只水獭用了两种截然不同的睡姿:平躺和趴睡。
Different sleep postures
which posture is better?
Wake up! It is time to go fishing now!
Warm up in the pond first
Then walk to the river

三月双溪布洛华语导游Madarin guide walk@SBWR,March(XXVIII)

It is a sunny Sunday morning and around 27 participants join our monthly Mandarin guided walk @ SBWR this time.
It is low tide when we went to the main bridge to spot those migratory birds. As the water level is low, some egrets are foraging on the riverbed and a grey heron is standing on the tree. We are lucky as a eagle is circling on the sky and later we spotted a eagle eating some prey on a bald tree.
No surprising during the trip as crocodiles and otters not showing up.
又是一个阳光明媚的星期天,大约有27位朋友参加了我们的红树林探幽活动。
我们先在竹子河(sugei buloh)的河床上观察到候鸟包括白鹭和其他滨鸟。一只海雕在空中盘旋,寻找早餐。往年湾鳄出现热点已经有半年多没有鳄鱼露脸了。
 两只水獭在折纸活动结束后前往访客中心的水池旁午休片刻,而后又回去捕鱼了。
不过红树林里常见的螃蟹,巨蜥,弹涂鱼等都一一登场了。

Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker feeds chick at HDB area

The Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker (Dicaeum cruentatum) is common here. However it is not so easy to see a happy family here.
The chick can fly freely. But it prefer to stay on the top of the tree and wait for the food. The mother is jumping and flying around to guard the chick. The father may play more important role in finding the food for the chick.

二月双溪布洛华语导游Madarin guide walk@SBWR,Feb(XXVII)

It is a sunny Sunday again and the tide is low during the walk. As the riverbed is exposed due to the low tide, lots of birds are foraging there.
