Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
I spent one afternoon walking around the reserve photographing a bunch of different birds, monitor lizards and mudskippers. When I was heading back out (on the main entry bridge) I was fortunate enough to have an Oriental Pied Hornbill searching the trees for food come very close and get some fantastic photos of the encounter.
