Birding Singapore

10,000 Birds

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve: the Tiger Afternoon

10,000 Birds

A mozzie bites me, so I take the “Expedition Plus Insect Repellent” from my rucksack (when I think about it now, any local brand would probably be equally efficient, but they lack the word “expedition” which immediately turns you into a proper explorer) and start spraying my hands and neck.
