This Common myna isn’t going to get any love on social media, but I couldn’t resist this pair having a cooling bath in a puddle on a scorching hot day

Adult Oriental Whip Snakes are usually fluorescent green. I’ve met this blue/green individual a few times over recent months. Stunning morph.

Bee sting sore. Obviously people react differently to venom. Pretty mild though

A Black-bearded Gliding Lizard (Draco melanopogon) in camouflage mode on a tree trunk. Often the way to spot these tiny little dragons is catching a flutter out the corner of your eye as it glides from tree to tree

Roseate spoonbills will splash their wings through the water as part of their beauty routine. Here's one doing so mid-splash, facing straight ahead towards the camera. I really love this shot. #birds

Two hide hammerhead flatworms in their native Singapore. I’m not sure if they are fighting, eating, mating or all of the above. I thought it was one snake at first glance.

My Tokay Gecko photograph got published in A Field Guide To The Reptiles & Amphibians Of Singapore this weekend. Aside from the joy of getting my photo included, this book is one of the best field guides I’ve owned. Great ID photos and even tadpole and spawn photos. Brilliant!
