Sisters' Island Marine Park Intertidal Walk - July 2015

I was very happy to secure a slot for two to join the introductory intertidal guided walk at Sisters' Island Marine Park.  We were to report at Marina South Pier at 6.50am but we went there much earlier, at around 6.30am to secure a parking lot.

At around 6.30am at Marina South Pier...

 Big Sister's Island

Upon reaching the island, we had a quick safety briefing by Collin and then we were split into 4 groups, with each group around 10 members.  We got Adriane, a volunteer as our guide.

 We saw many monkeys on the islands.  Never feed them or let them see your food!  They can get aggressive and snatch your food from you!  

 Moon Snail.

 Land Hermit Crab... Purplish!

 Common Starfish.

 Garlic Bread Sea Cucumber

Beaded Sea Anemone.

 Hairy Crab.

Sand Collar, egg case of the Moon Snail.  These are unhatched eggs.

 There is a pair of sea moths (a type of fish) in this photo but you will really need to strain your eyes to see them.

 Just opposite is the Small Sister's Island.

The next round of registration will open on 2 Aug 10am for booking of a free guided tour in September.  Do refer to this website for more details:

Concert Series in the Park - All that JAZZ (Admiralty Park)

There was a free jazz concert last Saturday evening at Admiralty Park.  Decided to travel all the way from East to West to enjoy this concert mainly to catch Sebastian Tan and the funny host Chua Enlai,

 A happy dragonfly!  :)

 There were many dragonflies here!  We went around taking some photos of the nature, the dragonflies and insects whilst waiting for the concert to start.

 The stage... We were here too early.  The concert only started at 6.30pm.
