Surviving Pulau Tiga.

It’s been a little unusual being the only guests on the island, but they are really catering to our needs. (Although once, no one answered the phone and Chris walked over to the lodge and no one was there nor at the pool. Fortunately the boat was still at the dock so we knew we were not abandoned).

 Anyway, one of the best things is the Oriental Pied Hornbills are plentiful and can be observed from breakfast and dinner closer than we saw at the nature lodges. There’s a next nearby and we learned that the female is sealed inside the a cavity with the eggs or chicks and the male feeds through a thin slit.

Other pairs are grooming or mate feeding.

Otherwise, we encounter a few creatures, but some new birds too.

There is a small hanging bridge and Chris braved it for an even closer view of hornbill.

Mike wanders around photographing things and we both spent most of the day in our villa’s pool having brought over rafts from the main pool.
