The Gems of Chek Jawa

It was Family Day at Chek Jawa yesterday.... and I was extremely excited because I brought my niece and sister along. It is their first encounter with Chek Jawa! As we approach the visitor centre, we were greeted by the call of an Oriental Pied Hornbill.... how lucky is that? During our 2-hour tour, we met many friends like the Knobbly, sea stars, sea cucumbers, sand dollars, Hermit crabs hidden in beautiful Noble Volute shells and baby Horseshoe crabs. Just when we thought the day could not be better, we shared a special moment with a Noble Volute who was laying its eggs in the seagrass lagoon!
