Started another memorable day with a trip to Sg. Buloh to look at shore birds /migratory birds as was rewarded with this shot on our way back after a usual birdwatching trip. Yup it is wild estuarine crocodile spotted near the main bridge of visitor centre...(btwn hide 1 and 1a). It was just lying still basking in the shade of the sun. It is about 1.6 m long and i was told by one of the Sg. Buloh volunteers (Keith), it is about 2 years old only...!!!!

Just imagine how big it will be in a couple of years time !!!!
wow....

Hope to spot an otter next time.. Btw, we saw a Painted Stork in flight as well !!!!!!
