Tioman Island
This morning I went for a walk again towards Tekek Kampung. This little fella was there near the wharf again. There are heaps of them around.
Collared Kingfisher
This boat was coming in towards the ferry bringing in supplies of some kind or another. There is a lot of building work going on.

I finally got a usable photo of the White-bellied Sea-eagles I have been seeing here in Tioman and in Mersing.
White-bellied Sea-eagle
I went to the dump again looking for that Purple Heron but I only saw a couple of egrets and a Grey Heron. I may have been mistaken but then again I might have been right. I also spotted a White-breasted Waterhen but failed to get a shot again.
Pachliopta aristolochiae (Common Rose)
This is the same butterfly as yesterday but a good shot from front on. ID thanks to Ma’ruf.
Mersing
I caught the ferry back to Mersing. The Air-Conditioning was so freezing I had to put my jacket on. I watched a couple of episodes of Deadwood on my laptop. They do a mighty lot of cussin on that thar show.
Lesser Sand Plover (Charadrius mongolus)
There were only a few assorted Lesser Sand Plovers on the beach this afternoon.

This is a diagnostic shot showing the tail feathers up nice and close.
Moon coming up
Moon was coming up over the hill. It looked mighty good.
Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus)
The sun had gone down and I was heading back and a pair of Brahminy Kite starting wheeling over the trees overhead. They seemed to have a nest there.
