It has been a great experience at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Despite it being warm, I enjoyed the whole trip! This is my first time going to swamp areas so I was really amazed by it. Not amazed by how hot it was, but by the organisms living there and all. There were numerous of flora and fauna. I only spotted a few among those many.

Mud lobsters:)
It was a pity that I did not have my camera with me. Furthermore, I was handling the data logger =) But, I observed many nests or houses of the mud lobster (I still wasn't so lucky enough to see the mud lobster). I learnt that the mud lobster excavates below the surface of the mud, pushing mud to the surface and making its home higher as it digs. In this way it helps to bring nutrients in the ecosystem. By the way, there was a lot of the mud lobster's nest or house. ( I am not very sure if the mud lobster's habitat is called nest or house)

Mudskipper ^^
The mudskipper is also an organism of Sungei Buloh. It adapts to the environment by having modified fins which help it to propel out of water and across the mud. it also has protruding eyes sticking out of water enabling it to observe the surrounding.

Data
Temperature of the air: 31.9
Humidity of air: 39%

Water's temperature: 32.1
pH level of water: 6.97

Soil's tempreture: 31.9
pH level soil: 7.19

Conclusion (=
Being able to experience the journey through the swamps is such a rare opportunity to be able to get so close to nature. i benefited a lot from the journey. My teachers taught me how to use the data logger. i observed the adaptation of the organism. Most importantly my team and i showed team work throughout the whole journey!
