Mangroves


Photo credits to Gek.
4 hour boat trip around the mangroves on the north east of the island.  60% salt / 40% fresh water.  Home to crocodiles amongst others. 


Mandatory feeding of the fishes.  Tried to get them to jump for their lunch but no luck.


Ours was the last boat through before the rising tide makes the passage impossible.   Stories of boats getting stuck.....etc.


Brahminy Kite, the local indian name for which forms Langkawi's island  name.  To see several tens of these lovely birds swooping for chicken bits was a little disturbing....not right.


And a Crab Eating Macaque eating Warburton's finest was a little amiss too. Watch your waistline boy.  Good swimmer.
