..the sign say " Do not feed people who act like monkeys"...err....sorryy...i mean " DO not feed the monkeys". yes thats sounds better doesn't it.
This is the area where you can see the migratory birds and many other types of birds. The mangrove swamps provide some excellent source of food for these birds.
The white thing you see in the pic are actually the white crane I think. Or is it the white egret. Anyway, this place will be totally filled with birds come Nov and Dec. The birds come from as far as Russia and China! SO if you want to see hundreds of different kinds of bird, come here sometime in Nov. But a word of caution. If you are a a little sick, please do not come here cause this bird might have...'bird flu virus' and if you are not well then you are more susceptible to these viruses. But if you are healthy and well...then no worries.
A nice design at one of the walls near the entrance of the reserve.
Ok...time to go home. Teachers to be, going home after a long journey in the reserve. :)
There is even internet access in Sungei Buloh. Amazing!
This roots is one of the reasons why, Bangladesh was not badly hit by the Tsunami waves. It act like shock absorbers. The mangrove swamp around Bangladesh actually protected the country! Unlike some countries which just have nice white beaches.
More of those aerial roots or what we call pneumatophores.
Capture this eagle flying above. Nice.
Hmm......these roots will make a good cane for my students.
..opsss just joking :)
By the way, charcoal comes from mangrove trees and everytime we eat satay, we are indirectly destroying the mangrove swamps! I am not saying 'dont eat satay' but we can help preserve the mangrove swamps by buying charcoal which comes from mangroves which are newly planted. (You can see them written at the front of the charcoal bags; but they are a little more expensive). Or eat satay that are electrically cooked! But of course it does not taste as good :) But at least we are saving the environment. :)
The entrance to the wetland reserve, SUNGEI BULOH. Nice eh ! :)
Saw the monitor lizard swimming towards us. Lucky it was not the crocodile. Yes there are croc here. They migrated from malaysia.
This is the plant where we get our 'attap chee' from. You know the transparent seed thing we like to eat last when we eat 'Ice Kacang'! :)
So mangrove plants are important. Without it, we will not have our attap chee!!!
Yup. this sign is for real no joke.
This is the biggest mud skipper i have ever seen! It is sun bathing i think :)
