A delightful evening with families at Pasir Ris mangroves

Last Saturday, the Naked Hermit Crabs had lots of fun exploring Pasir Ris mangroves with 42 adults and kids! It was heartwarming to see so many families bring their children out to wild places to enjoy nature!

It's Fruiting Season! Durians and Breadfruits at Chek Jawa

Last Saturday morning we had another fun-filled walk with 56 visitors turning up at Chek Jawa! Greeting us as we walked towards the waiting area are calls of a white-rumped shama (not to mention swarms of feasting mosquitoes as we stopped to take photographs)! They are very popular songbirds in Singapore and can mimic other birds, hence they are often the target of poachers. This individual is likely a resident on Pulau Ubin.

Evening stroll through Pasir Ris Mangroves

Pasir Ris Mangroves is such an easy nature destination to do. It is just a short walk from Pasir Ris MRT station, and if you drive, there's plenty of free parking nearby. We had about 20 visitors (comprising young families, couples, friends) last Saturday evening, and we managed to see a good variety of animals resident in the mangroves.

One of the first sightings is this super cute baby monitor lizard looking out of its hole. It seemed unperturbed by our presence, so we were able to shoot lots of photos of it. In fact, on our way back an hour later, this cute fella was still there. See the lower photo.
