Marina East, Telok Blangah 22Jan22

From KH

Danny and I went to Marina East today. Just the usual suspects in the marsh.

At the breakwater, we had fun with a bunch of plovers.

The bushes beside the marsh harboured many Julia Heliconians, an introduced species.

I was too engrossed in shooting the butterflies that I didn't realize that there were Carrhotus spider and mating Plumed Moths at the edge of my photos!

The bushes were made up of Causonis sp., Vigna sp. and Earpod Wattles (Acacia auriculiformis).

Of course, what we were stepping on were the usual Broadleaf Carpetgrass.

Finally, we went to Telok Blangah Hill to see the Grey-faced Buzzard that was wintering there and sure enough, it was still enjoying its sentry duty on the lamppost.
