Pelagic Outing September 2013
Sunday Sept 15 started out like any other Sunday, except for 8 of us who went out for a pelagic in the straits.

The rainforest traps so much water vapor that there is often a morning mist the sun struggles to burn off. A recent morning in Panti Forest.
On July 28th we set out on another pelagic expedition, this one kindly sponsored by NParks as part of the comprehensive marine biodiversity survey.
March was drawing to a close and I wanted to do something before a planned trip to India in April. Kok Hui had a week of school holidays, and then Jia Sheng noticed that Garuda was having a 2 day sale on tickets!
Nine of us met on Saturday, 4 May 2013 for yet another pelagic outing in the Singapore Straits, entering our third year with around 20 trips. It seemed like a long time ago as our last outing was October 2012.
I just got the new Nikon 80-400 AF-S VR lens yesterday, which comes at a good time as I will have a photography trip to India within a week.
At Panti Forest on March 2, we observed a family of Red-bearded Bee-eaters who were very vocal and conspicuous.
Recently I was in Thailand just outside Kaeng Krachan National Park in one of the hides at a waterhole.
Recently I went up to the rice fields at Batang Tiga on the outskirts of Melaka to check out the reported trio of Aquila eagles. I planned to spend one night to break up the driving.
On October 24, 2012, I took Silk Air MI636 to Siem Reap for a week. Silk Air currently flies to Siem Reap everyday of the week, but on some days there is one stop in Da Nang, Vietnam. This was one of those days, but still it was a pleasant flight and I got to see a bit more from the air.
