Kuala Baram Morning

Felt like a morning out by the lagoon listening to Yellow-bellied Prinia, Striated Grassbird, Asian Glossy Starling, Pied Triller and Collared Kingfisher instead of the tiresome drone of the workstation in the office.

How soothing the pounding waves are in the right setting.


Little mangrove claiming it's rightful place on the mudflats, this area was previously lined with nipah palm which got eroded away in time. A few feet from the erosion control boulders, native plants are slowly claiming it's stake.


Purple Heron perched on top a an established mangrove plant. At other times there'd be Grey Heron, Collared Kingfisher and Common Kingfisher on the branches.

Little mudskippers playing at the water's edge. Bigger mudskippers restrict themselves to a brackish stagnant pond nearby which is connected to the lagoon at high tide.


"Hey, your lovelies, do you come around 'ere often?"

Paradise in small little unpretentious packages makes the 10 minute drive out here worthwhile, everytime.
