A great video of two Otters checking out a Crocodile on a bank at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore.
We are hoping to get visitors like these as well as the Birds at the new Kranji Marshes freshwater marsh nature reserve once it's finished.
Palm Civets on the Eco-Link @ BKE
So I'm told that Palm Civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) have been pooing on the Wildlife Bridge!
National Parks (NParks) Officers have spotted Palm Civet droppings on the bridge so it seems animals are already using the bridge - even if it's only as a toilet.
Bird spotting at the Construction Tender briefing - Kranji Marshes
Looking forward to getting the Contractor on board and starting the construction work on the Nature Reserve.
Some of the birds of interest we spotted on our visit:
3 Purple Swamphens (Porphyrio porphyrio)
1 Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)
1 Yellow Bittern (Ixobrychus sinesis)
A flock of Red-wattled Lapwings (Vanellus indicus atronuchalis)
Several Long-tailed Parakeets (Psittacula longicauda) - our native Parakeet
1 Kingfisher - just a glimpse, probably a White-throated Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis)
Under the Eco-Link@BKE
On the way to the Kranji Marshes tender briefing today we passed under our wildlife bridge Eco-Link@BKE
