Mukah's other bits and pieces
Striated Heron perched next to our ABC shop by Batang Mukah.
A large mudskipper enjoying the sunshine by the riverbank.
A wet Stork-billed Kingfisher, must have just had it's lunch. This is one of the largest species of kingfishers around.
A Collared Kingfisher eyeing us from it's perch, they were very skittish to say the least not unlike those we've encountered before. There were also plenty of starlings ... raising a ruckus all the way to sunset.
The mangrove plankwalk which was rather unexpected, plenty of birds and other animal life around in this patch. The wooden plankwalk connected a couple of small villages on the other side of Batang Mukah. A boat to cross over costs $0.30 one way!
Another common resident of the Mukah mangroves, a squirrel. There were wild macaques there too.
