It was the third trip to Sungei Buloh this year and once again, we were going to guide about the fauna and flora of Sungei Buloh. I happened to meet up with a number of Common Sun Skinks that particular day. Just by the Visitor Centre, there was one of these skinks resting near the Mangrove Broadwalk.

It was the first time the new students were seeing such an animal, and hence everyone started to crowd around the area for some shots. I knew that if they were to make so much of noise and crowd around so badly, the skink would most probably move away. So i took another shot of it before making my way out of the crowd.

Soon after all the students had taken their own photographs, the skink had already moved a few metres away from where it originally was.

A few minutes after we started the mangrove broadwalk, a student said he saw something moving in the leaf litter. After moving in closer for a good look, the animal was also another Common Sun Skink. I did not use flash for this shot.

And just as we finished the mangrove broadwalk, another individual was spotted basking on a rock near the T-Junction of the broadwalk. This skink had the orange sides, unlike most of them we had encountered.
