Walking

Nature has it's way of hiding reality. My friends and I went for a walk recently, we haven't done so in a long time due to your tight schedule.

The drain water is actually very clean, its from a pond and has been filtered by the rocks.

Clean and happy

Macrophotography, the unseen world

Fiery red ants on a fruit

On our way out, we saw a crowd of Mynahs, that led us to a Drongo, which in turn led us to a Woodpecker!

Rufous Woodpecker, uncommon in Singapore!

It really wasn't intimidated with us nor the buzzing sound the cars made from the road beside

Pecking for worms?

Curious little guy!

The laughingthrushes of Bukit Batok park has been quite a good friend of us


They are actually quite confident and loud birds, you could creep close to them!

There was 2 woodpeckers, lets hope they breed successfully!

I'm happy to be staying near Bukit Batok park because it is really a good birding spot!

Polling Day Sepcial

On the 27th, Singapore held its 4th presidential election. This is the 1st contested elections since the 1993 election. I congratulate Dr Tony Tan as Singapore's 7th president.
I was on my way to my friends house went I spotted this furry critter!

Musk Shrew, I saved him from meeting in a car accident

Prehensile Tail, really strong one

It also had sharp nails to climb!

Grooming itself

About 3.5 inches long

 Photographing with extremely lousy lighting

Very inquisitive in nature

It really reassembles a mouse!


I found the Shrew in the afternoon. However, I was unwilling to release it at that time due to the heavy human traffic, so I waited till it was dark.

Happiness

Happiness


Happiness is a mode of transport, not a destination.
