27/09 - Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (17 Oct 09)

We met at Kranji MRT station at 7.30am and moved to SBWR at about 7.50am. Our shooting was shooting was supposed to start at the outdoor classroom in the middle of Loop 1. The group was distracted while on our way there as a median size Malayan Monitor lizard was posed very nicely in the middle of the road, and many of us were just having a good time shooting it. The outdoor classroom is just next to a pond and there are many kind of various plants there, which provided us with more opportunity to get macro subjects. We found robberfly, dragonflies and a lot of beautiful bugs which were ,unfortunately, under very difficult lighting condition. Later on, when we were shooting along the way back to the Visitor Centre, there were quite a no. of praying mantis, cicada cast, spiders, etc.

During our shooting, there were many visitors passing by. Rey, Con and PT Lee who were birding there came to chit-chat for a while. We finished at 12.30 pm and then moved to have lunch at Sungei Kadok. Generally speaking, the site is good but the subjects there were quite spread out in term of area, and many visitors moving around while we were shooting which may have affected our shooting.

Participants (19) : Cai Yi Xiong (Team Leader), Pegi Lee, Ong Lim Sim, Stephen Lim, Lee Yan Leong, Sharon Lim, Agnes Goh, Eugene Hu (with wife and a friend), Yeo Tang Lim, Hazel Han, Kyaw Htay, Joshua Fong, Rosemary, CP Chan, Tan Peck Keng (with nephew) & Shannon Ong.
