By April, most of the migratory birds would have left and return to their breeding ground at the north. Is time to take a good look at the local birds instead at Sungei Buluh Wetland Reserve.
It was a rather quiet afternoon alone at the Main Bridge. There are several raptors up in the sky including this Brahminy Kite
and White-bellied Sea Eagle.
Over the mud flat a pair of Little Egrets was fighting over hunting ground.
Grey heron prefer to fish in deeper water.
Slightly different from Grey Heron, Painted Storks is a tactile forager.Which means the bird walks in shallow water holding its open bill underwater. As soon as a prey moves near the bill, the bird closes the mandibles and catches the prey.
It used to be thick mangrove forest across the strait over at Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The entire coastline has turn to man-made structure over the last decades.
The construction is still on-going. Perhaps this is the reason more wildlife are sighted here seeking refuge?
There are some shorebirds that yet to make their way back north is seen feeding in the water.
The Collared kingfisher happily dive in for the hunt.
Back to the tree branch to enjoy the catch.
Copper Throated Sunbird hardly perch in the open. Managed to get a shot of this mangrove's beauty.
Interesting to see so many beetles stay on the same leaf.
Not frequently seen, but some times the long tail macaque do show up and will try to snatch food from visitors.
