First field day out for my new camera at Sungei Buloh. :) Photos aren't that superb but I'll learn the ropes... I shall master the D70... mwahahaa. Been a while since I last handled an SLR. Didn't do any public guiding today... whole day was dedicated to photography. :)


Marsh sandpipers... leftovers from the migratory hordes. Most of their cousins flew back towards the north in March.


Praying mantis nymph. One more instar and it'll grow its wings.


Little egret. Big strides.


Same Sun skink, taken from another angle. Evil Weaver ants were crawling up my boots.


Sun skink. Telephoto lens take poor macros. Whoever stands 1.5m away to take a skink?


Iguanas can't be found in the wild in Singapore. This one's been (illegally) released into the freshwater ponds at Buloh. It's surviving quite well, apparently, feeding on the flowers and berries and leaves and fish and just about anything.


Not very well taken, but it's the subject that counts. I had just a few seconds to capture this record shot before this Tiger shrike flew off with its gecko prey. Look at its eyes - they're almost popping out! With moments such as this, there's no time to play with shutter speeds and apertures. :P


Still the same Ashy tailorbird. It's the fanning stage of the courtship ritual (the female's nearby).


Oh my goodness... I love my new baby! With my Coolpix camera I wouldn't have been able to take such pictures... despite its sophisticated look, it's actually quite crappy. Presenting... the virgin photo of my D70. An Ashy tailorbird, chirping for all its worth.
