瓜拉牛拉生态之旅 Trip to Kuala Gula

这其实已是三个星期前的事了，但当时实在是太忙了，没时间写博。不过迟到总好过没到吧？

(This was actually three weeks ago, but I was really too busy with work then and didn't had time to blog properly. Well, better late than never, right?)

瓜拉牛拉 Kuala Gula 位于霹雳州 Kerian 区，是个小渔村，同时也在 Matang 森林保护区内，并号称东南亚其中一个最重要的候鸟“驿站”。三月十、十一日，我们随着大马自然协会的旅行团来到了这里。

(Kuala Gula, a small fishing village, is situated in Kerian, Perak. It is also within the Matang Forest Reserve, and the Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary is one of the most important stops for migratory birds in South East Asia. So my husband and I joined a trip to Kuala Gula organised by the M'sian Nature Society on 10th and 11th March.)

闲话少说，去片！

(Enough of words, on with the pictures!)

瓜拉牛拉同时有着西马最大的沼泽红树森林系统，而高质量的红树木正是烧木炭的来源。所幸这里的烧炭业者及树木砍伐都由森林保护局妥善管理。这是其中一个烧炭厂：

(Kuala Gula also has the largest mangrove ecosystems in Peninsular Malaysia, and the mangrove trees here are excellent material for producing high-quality charcoals. Fortunately, the charcoal industry and logging activities here are all systematically managed by PERHILITAN. This is one of the charcoal factories.)




我的相机没那么“好料”，所以……观鸟时都拍不太清楚……

(My camera wasn't all that powerful, so I couldn't get any clear shots of the birds.)

但我们看见了海豚！四、五只吧，据说是跑进河口来找鱼吃的，但太快了，实在来不及按快门。照片反而看起来像是尼斯湖水怪……绝对、绝对不是大白鲨哦。



But we saw DOLPHINS! There were four or five of them, apparently they swim into the river mouth areas to look for fish to eat. But they were too quick for us to take any good pictures. The photos look almost like those of Nessie... but that's certainly no Jaws, ok? OK?
