Farewell to 2010

All good things must come to an end, and the year of 2010 is no exception. We have enjoyed a great 12 months of adventures and will be looking forward to more in 2011!
We ended the year with a short trip to Genting Highlands and experienced the “winter weather”.

We did not get much time to explore the surroundings, but did manage an early morning up near the radar station, where it was cold and windy, with the mist rolling in, which did nothing for the visibility.
Social Spiders
We heard and saw some birds including observing a Bay Woodpecker, busily excavating  a nest hole.

A day before our trip, we heard the loud “keek keek” call and spotted a pair of Collared Kingfishers perched on our neighbour’s roof.  We had previously seen only the White-throated Kingfisher in the same spot so we were thrilled to see another species visiting our condo.

On that same day on our walk to Telok Blangah Hill, we got a good view of a Brahminy Kite.
