Beting Bronok on Venus Transit Day
Today is a special day in many ways.
In one way, it is the Transit of Venus where Earth, the Sun and Venus happened to align themselves in a straight line.
At 06:00, where the transit of Venus begins, a team of 12 members were already busy looking at critters at Beting Bronok.

Changi Beach comes to live!
Another mainland shore visit today.
I visited Changi Beach today and there were many things to see on this period of low spring tide.
There were many patched of seagrass but the animals there were more attractive to take pictures of. So some types of seagrass can be seen in some of the following images.
On the shore, there were plenty of white sea urchins (Salmacis sp.) and small hermit crabs running around. As usual, the sea urchin had various types of camouflage.
The white sea urchins were everywhere and Sankar was joking that they were trying to follow us along the shore. The many small hermit crabs make use of different types of shell and they move pretty fast.

Eggy, Crabby, Feathery Punggol
Today marks the start of another series of crazy wake up time to check out our shores in Singapore.
A small team visited Punggol Beach on a very early morning.
The Punggol beach I knew was a rocky beach with whiffs of funny smell coming from somewhere.
Never have I expected this stretch of beach to come alive during a low spring tide.
The team covered both sides of the shore from the jetty.
When I reached the shore, Ria was so excited to show this beaded nudibranch (Hoplodoris nodulosa).
