Night Adventure at Mandai mangroves










Our group explored Mandai mangroves expecting to have a muddy adventure. We were guided by Dan’s friend and associate (now our friend) who researches this and other areas.

Like Chek Jawa, these mangroves remind me of home—not the mangrove flora or the specific creatures but in the intense volume and variety of life found similarly in Rachel Carson Estuary and our surrouding barrier islands.

After slipping around a bit, we made discovery after discovery –some as we looked across the straights to Jahor. I was happy to be greeted at one point by the familiar bark of the Great Blue Heron as we entered too close to his roost.
