五月双溪布洛华语导游活动mandarin guide walk @ sungei buluo

今天有20位朋友参与了我们的华语讲解活动。天气晴见多云，海水处于退潮阶段。

在红树林木制走道上看到树蟹在水洼中取食落叶、弹涂鱼守着自己的小水坑、招潮蟹爬出洞穴觅食、几只小鲎（马蹄蟹）在水流中悠闲的游着、松鼠在树上上蹿下跳，还有呱噪的知了叫个不停。随后在桥上看到鹳嘴翡翠、白领翡翠、小白鹭、大白鹭、栗鸢、苍鹭等。水里有成群的水针鱼和射水鱼。活动结束时有一群中杓鹬和小白鹭飞进大家的视野，为这次活动划上美丽的句号。

天气真是热啊，不过大家对自然的兴趣也很热哦。

There are 20 participants for today’s mandarin guide walk.
The weather is fair to cloudy, and the tide is running out. Along the mangrove board walk, we meet some amazing creatures, the tree-climbing crabs are feeding on defoliations; the mudskippers are walking around their condominiums; the fiddle crabs are crawling out their homes; the small horseshoe crabs are swimming in the shallow stream; the plantain squirrels are jumping among trees, and the cicadas are singing loudly.
At the main bridge, we catch sight of stork-billed kingfisher, collared kingfishers, little egrets, great egret, grey heron and brahminy kite. Several schools of half-beak fish and anchor fish are swimming under the main bridge.
A flock of whimbrels and little egrets fly back to SBWR at the end of our walk.

栖息在NUS校园中的小葵花凤头鹦鹉（Cacatua sulphurea）Yellow-crested cockatoo @ NUS

小葵花风头鹦鹉原产于澳大利亚，由宠物交易进入新加坡，笼养鸟逃逸后在野外繁殖建立了种群，所以今天我们在本地看到的这种鹦鹉是“外来种”。在国大校园中栖息着一个种群。

The Yellow-crested cockatoos (Cacatua sulphurea) originated in Australia. They were brought into Singapore by pet trade and subsequently released or escaped. They have established themselves in Singapore and have feral breeding populations。There is a population living in NUS campus.

初中生的自然教育活动（4月23日，双溪布洛）Nature nurture activities to secondary school students @ SBWR on 23th, April

双溪布洛自然保护区最重要的功能之一就是自然教育，特别是学生群体。

约30名初中生参加了本次活动，内容是检测双溪布洛的水质, 包括野外采样，测水体温度，PH值，氨、盐度和硬度。

Nature nurture is an important function of SBWR. There are several programs related to schools and institutes.

There were around 30 secondary school students participated in this workshop. They collected water samples from field, and measure temperature, PH, ammonia, Salinity and Hardness of different samples. These basic parameters can reflect the quality of water.

天公作美，上个周末白天没有下雨。大约有二十五位朋友参加了这次的华语导游活动。

这次活动算是展现出了双溪布洛的生物多样性，看到了各种红树，尤其是胎生苗和果实；也看到了不少巨蜥，螃蟹和弹涂鱼；至于候鸟，出乎我们的意外，还有大批活动在池塘和河边；但是因为时间和路线的关系，这次活动我们没有看到大名鼎鼎的鳄鱼和水獭。
It was sunny or cloudy during the Madarin guide walk and around 25 friends involved in this activity.

This walk showed the biodiversity of Sungei Buloh: different kinds of mangrove trees, especially with some vivipary and fruits, water monitor lizards, skinks, crabs, mudskippers,egrets, shorebirds, archrfish, halfbeak, et al. It is a little pity that we didn't observe the crocdile and otter during this walk because of the time.
