Fun in the sun. We ferried off to Kusu and St. John's Islands today, basically just to frolick. Lots of good nature spotting. Some birds we had never seen, like the Collared Kingfisher, the Magpie Robin, and what I think was a Brahminy Kite. The highlight of the day were the mudskippers; they're frequently the stars of nature videos we see, as an example of evolution in action. It's cool to see things that you knew existed, but you always thought existed somewhere else. Like last year when we went to Tioman Island and saw flying fish, monitor lizards, and giant clams.
