There are now a family of 5 Smooth Otters who have make Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Singapore as their home. Recently, I witnessed a pack of wild dogs about 10 of them showing aggressiveness towards these Otters. The Otters were hunting for fish in the water and encountered resistance when they wanted to go on land. Matters was brought forward to the management of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve as well as the AVA authority to act on this matter so that the Otters can still make this place their home.

Have been on the look out for crocodile in our Singapore Nature Reserve for quite sometime hoping to catch them in the wild and to record their nature behaviour.
Finally I managed to find it face to face with me while it was resting and also on the look out for food…I guess.

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve was recognized as a site of international importance for migratory birds with Wetlands International presenting the reserve a certificate to mark its formal entry into the East Asian Australasian Shorebird Site Network, which include Australia’s Kakadu National Park, China’s Mai Po and Japan’s Yatsu Tidal Flats.
Sungei Buloh became Singapore’s first ASEAN Heritage Park in 2003. This shot was taken at the Wetland reserve as the storm starts coming in. Beautiful sight.

During migration, the RedShank frequent prawn farm, mudflats and mangroves edges. They form dense flocks along high tide roosting sites and spread out during low tides. They make a series of loud ringing notes, teu-hoo when taking off. The pictures show some of their recent activities at the wetland SBWR.
