There are so many nice places to go and I ended up travel to Wulai, a small town in Taipei County, famous for its hot springs and aboriginal culture. I rented a transport cum tour guide (6 hours block) from Taipei City and it took me about 45mins to reach Wulai. Even in … 
During my short trip to Thailand last month, I visited Huai Kha Kheang Wildlife Sanctuary, a nice quiet place not too far from Mae Wong National Park.While I wander in the park, I saw four Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush (Garrulax monileger) having their bonding time while taking sun bath. However, their peaceful moment were interrupted by an uninvited guest - a monitor …

They will scoop up sand and mud with their front claws and sift through the sand for food, dropping unwanted sand and mud which form the ball shape sands. The video below show how the …
Saw thousands of butterfly along the trail when I was at Kaeng Krachan Nature Park of Thailand last month. Is believed that male butterflies are more likely the one that do puddling. When butterfly sips water from the ground, they also take in traces of minerals that dissolved in the water.

Ever since I picked up nature photography 2 years ago, biggest satisfaction came from the extra knowledge and the opportunity to observe & learn more about things that I don't get to see or previously unknown. Through the course of photography, I learn more than just the name of the plants or animals that I photographed. I learn about their behaviour, their diet, their …
Mangrove pittas (Pitta megarhyncha) are rare resident of Singapore and are considered as nationally-endengere d due to loss of habitat. Is certainly a great pleasure to watch this beautiful bird feeding at the few remained mangrove in Singapore.
With the wet season almost over, some birds has started their breeding preparation!! This Black-Naped Oriole(Oriolus chinensis) is certainly one of them. I saw this oriole keep going back to the same branch a few times. Not that there are insects nor fruiting on that tree but to steal the material needed for their nest building! The oriole will use the bill to purposely got …

Saw this family enjoying the warm morning sun after the overnight rain at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve last week end. This is their home and this is the place that they belongs to. There are plenty of food in the reserve and enough to feed every of their family member. However, things changed when people start to feed them. Out of convenience, out of curiosity and …
