I just came back from a camp at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. This camp was organized as a pre mini expedition before the actual Overseas Community Project over at Philippines. The experience there was truly amazing I tell you. It was an eye opener to me. Truly amazing!!! I will show you some pictures at the end taken by my team members, which in the day time can't be taken but in the night its a completely different situation over there. At the end of the day, we had to do a video for future presentation to secondary schools students as we were going to be ambassadors for Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserves represents Singapore Polytechnic.
Our main activities there were basically Mangrove Salvaging, Coastal Cleaning, Mangrove Reforestation & Night Survey. All the activities there were amazing, however the first and once in a life time experience I would encounter and probably would like to go again would be the Night Survey. Extremely exciting over there. Able to see hear many different species of insects and birds. Came across snakes and monitor lizards. Sadly didn't managed to see fireflies due to the weather conditions as well as see crocodiles due to some other reasons. Probably I shan't write much and post the photos.
Night Jar Bird; Dragonflies sleeping;
Tree Climbing Crab; Sea Snake; Pink Neck Pigeon;
Viper among the trees; Monitor Lizard;
Most of these picture are taken up close with the insect/animal itself without zoom and some of them can only be seen at night. Throughout the 2 days of the night survey, I got beaten by mosquitoes countless times!! My group went through the mosquito valley and when we went there, though its dark at night and we can't see but the noise of the mosquitoes buzzing around my ears just scares me!! Nevertheless, this night survey was really an eye opener for me. Too bad I didn't get to see crocodiless on the road. Haha.
Anyway I think I will stop here for the time being. Got to prepare for tomorrow's vocational assessment. See ya!!
The Team
