Walk Down Memory Lane at Kuala Selangor Nature Park

Sunset over the Selangor River as my mum (her helper) and myself wait for our seafood dinner at Kuala Muara Kitchen. Did some birdwatching in the paddyfields and the Kuala Selangor Nature Park on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. The Ebird Checklists from Tanjung Karang and Kuala Selangor Nature Park (Taman Alam Kuala Selangor) are available by clicking on these location names. It has been a long time since I last visited Kuala Selangor with my family. My mum surprisingly still remembered the fireflies. This was a trip we took many years ago when the fireflies still existed along the shores of Kampung Kuantan. That is sadly a thing of the past. 

Fireflies song by Owl City is a sad reminder of an incredible species of insects that once lit up the trees alongside the Selangor riverbanks at Kampung Kuantan. 

Dinner at the newly opened Kuala Muara Kitchen next to Le-Shore Hotel. Aquamarine-painted walls were cool. Our dinner comprised mussels cooked in salted egg butter sauce, seafood fried rice (with a relatively large prawn), mango kerabu (which my mum rated as delicious and as a former nurse who worked in Perlis, Penang & Kedah, some of the best kerabu originates from those States so she knows how to rate kerabu) and fish & chips.

                                          Her first slice of BBQ Stingray (Pari) followed by ..............                                               a SECOND slice of pari. 

                              PanTimor's BBQ Spread was irresistible.

A large monitor lizard ambles across the road nearby the temple in Pasir Penambang

Autan anti-mosquito lotion is essential to be slathered liberally across every inch of my skin before I began my walk into the Kuala Selangor Nature Park. The Collared Kingfisher is such a welcome sight at the entrance of the Kuala Selangor Nature Park.
