Cattle Egrets using public transport. Some more Mkuze birds for which I cannot come up with a semi-interesting caption right now … African Jacana. Taking a bath …. And drying on a giraffe with your friends. What a life. Kingfishers – the poor man`s Pittas? African Pygmy Kingfisher. Brown-hooded Kingfisher.

We didn’t know what to expect from the train that had at one time been used to transport bananas to the coast and is now used to transport ecotourists to the wildlife refuge. Yes, you read that right, two FREAKING MANGROVE CUCKOOS perched OUT IN THE OPEN! Not only that, but we had a train ride to look forward to!

Arriving in Singapore we soon collected our bags and got ourselves a NETS card for travel on public transport and to also use in supermarkets. The train system is fast and efficient and was our primary mode of transport. There was something “not right” about it. Due to the fact it was not yet 07:45am it was a S$1.09

Taxi v SMRT – The SMRT is the excellent, clean, safe, reliable, cheap transport system of Singapore. The path along the right (east) bank of the river leads along a cycle path with Asian Koels , Yellow-vented Bulbuls , Laced Woodpeckers and Oriental Magpie Robins all likely. You may also find familiar faces.

On other occasions we would encounter numerous caravans being towed or large trucks up to 54 metres long transporting fuel or cattle and we would wisely leave the bitumen if it was not a full width road and let the larger vehicles pass. Cattle can be anywhere! Of course another danger is the presence of snakes and crocodiles!
