Expedition: Pendas & Sg. Pulai

We recently went on an expedition on the 26th of January, to Sg. Pendas and the ramsar site at Sg. Pulai. The boatman, who's name escapes me, was experienced with taking us to unknown places for excellent shots. We started off at 5:45am and got back home around 2am. A long day, but well worth it. We got to the Nusajaya office in less than 2.5h, and started the boat around 10:30am. We were on the boat until approx 5:30pm. Shahril and Ariff went to get the rental car, and we had dinner around 7:30pm.

Not so much wildlife this time round. The weather was cool, with intermittent rain. The speedboat was fast, so I was glad I had my poncho on. While in the area, we saw a few mudskippers, and this monitor lizard trying to catch some sun. We also saw a few birds.

Ariff at one point got out of the boat in bare feet into the mangrove to take some shots!


Crew on board: Shahril, Dang, Raziff, Ariff, Man, and myself. (Clockwise from left)
We finished off with an awesome dinner on the jetty, with Assam Pedas (catfish - eek), prawn, chilli crab, siakap three tastes, kangkong belacan, salt fish kailan, and hot hot rice!
