Green Crested Lizard at Poyan
21 Mar 2010
Danny Lau
Just a few minutes before this Green Crested Lizard fell from above, a Black Baza was seen feeding on a small insect/lizard on the tree just behind where I snapped the picture of this lizard. The lizard probably jumped down to get away from the Black Baza which was flying overhead - hopefully it learned to shut it's eyes to prevent the red iris from exposing its hideout.

I saw an Equatorial Spitting Cobra. Unfortunately, the snake has almost gone into a hole before my camera lens managed to capture it.
Reticulated Python at Sungei Serangoon
21 Mar 2010
Tan KH
While doing bird census at Sungei Serangoon, a jogger told me that there's a python in the canal. By the time I got to it, the snake has almost totally got out of the canal. It slowly crawled into the grass and then into the undergrowth. It's estimated to be 2-3 m long.
All this while, the birds were really upset by the presence of the python. A few Striated Herons, a Pond Heron and a pair of White-breasted Waterhens took turn screaming at the python and even attempted to attack it. What an amazing encounter with this rare snake!
