Pasir Ris Park
East, Singapore
March 2013
Merlion Wayfarer was at the mangroves at Pasir Ris Park one afternoon. Being mid-tide, this was the trip when she saw the most number of mudskippers!
- Skippers swimming to stay slim...
- Skippers having a mud facial...
- Skippers hiding in the shade for fear that they will grow more spots...
- Skippers paddling to learn how to swim like a fish...
- Skippers having an oil bath...
- Skippers learning how to breathe underwater...
Arachnida (Spiders)
Jumpers are always very curious little ones. Here is a Ligurra Latidens (Mangrove Jumper) Female staring right into the lens...
See how hard the armour protecting her head is...
She can be quite aggressive when she sees a prey that she sees something she doesn't quite like...
The Rest
There was a lot of water today. Due to the inflow, new streams are etched into the mud. This mini-waterfall, nearly one metre in height was created due to a sinking in of a mudflat. The height of the water created a significant amount of foam in the pool below.
Quite a few kingfishers can be heard near the entrance closer to the carpark. Here's a Todiramphus Chloris (Collared Kingfisher) that stands out easily:
A collection of bugs...
[Any help to ID will be much appreciated!]
