The case of the missing and reappearing bird nest

Last week (21 April), Ria noticed that the sunbird's nest outside the female toilet at Pasir Ris Park carpark C was gone/removed/destroyed (?). We were rather sad about it and we didn't took photos of it that day.

Today, we noticed the nest back at the same spot. Weird....

Mosquito control at Nature parks and places?

The monthly free guided walk by the Naked Hermit Crabs, the crabs noticed two NEA staff carrying what seems to look like mosquito control equipment.

We were all rather upset to see their presence at Chek Jawa, a beautiful nature place unique with 6 different ecosystems at one location.

It's my first Naked Hermit Crabs guiding trip for the year at Chek Jawa.
Due to school commitments, I couldn't volunteer for the guiding sessions in February and March. The crabs took a CNY break in January.

It was unusually crowded today at Changi Point Ferry Terminal.
There were groups and cyclists going to Pengerang on one side, and crowds of NPCC students and Ubin visitors on the other. The Ubin bumboat extend their queue line to cater for the large crowd.
