No one know how it came to this island alone...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In this newly opened natural park, there are wild boars, monkey, stray dogs around too.

<span style="font-size: large;">My interest is to visit all sorts of bridges during my travel time, especially those old bridges. No exception for this summer trip, though I have been here many years ago. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Luoyang bridge is one of the four most famous ancient bridges in China.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> It is located not far from Quanzhou city, it takes about 20 minutes drive from center city. Evening time will be the best to visit the place, you can walk from one end to the other, it is not really tourist area for now, so there are many local people crossing the bridge, many interesting scenes...well I will post up in another post. Here I would just like to show some photos of this old bridge which </span><span style="font-size: large;">was built in 1057 still standing proud till now. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Triangular slabs of stones were placed on one side of the bridge pointing against the flow of water in order to divert and lessen the impact of the tides. I was told </span><span style="font-size: large;">live oysters were placed in the cracks so that natural secretions became a biological super-glue!</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

I know my addiction continues-watching and photographing whatever birds run into my sights...Seagull is one of my favorite, or which I should say they are the most easy birds to photograph. They are not camera shy! I took many shots of gulls in many pose.</div>

That is an amazing place for walking around in the nature. I was there early December last year, <span style="text-align: center;">Although I did not get to</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span> see beautiful desert flowers in bloom as I was expecting before going, but I really enjoy staying so close to the nature, smell the fresh air, watching many local birds (and yeah, manage to add some <span style="text-align: center;">new species to my list)</span>, the butterflies and the squirrels...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span> <span style="text-align: center;">The Greater Roadrunners were seen everywhere free running in the park, </span>do their hunting in the bush looking for lizards and snakes ...<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span> The adult bird has a bushy crest and long, thick, dark bill with a long, dark tail, a dark head and back, and is blue on the front of the neck and on the belly. They are large ground bird which very seldom flies, they can grow to almost two feet in length.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was told there are also the Lesser Roadrunners which are a bit smaller than the Greater, but I can really tell which one is the great and which one is the lesser...<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qj-wCsqi4lU/VRFjdIlTNoI/AAAAAAAAPnk/41HBG8YUoP0/s1600/IMG_4938.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qj-wCsqi4lU/VRFjdIlTNoI/AAAAAAAAPnk/41HBG8YUoP0/s1600/IMG_4938.JPG" height="266" width="400" /></a><br />
Gambel’s Quails! Yeah, one of my unexpected surprises was meeting a few of the local wildlife in the garden. Seeing roadrunners, hummingbirds, Gambel's quails in very close distance was a real novelty, of course the ground squirrels jumping around my feet was a definite highlight, which I should have an individual post.<br />

Unlike those roadrunners, the Gambel’s Quails did not show up a nice posture in front of my camera, but I could not resist trying to capture some image of this dude...<br />

If I am not wrong, it is Ground Squirrel, but the fur colour is much lighter than the one <a href="http://gypsy70.blogspot.sg/2014/12/squirrel-by-beach-pacific-coast-highway.html" target="_blank">by the beach at 17 miles</a>.

I spotted a black-tailed jackrabbit rests near a cactus in the garden. It was the first jackrabbit I ever saw...But it stayed there still, not sure why. <br />

The above photo show the Desert cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus audubonii) in the far with the squirrel. Like all cottontail rabbits, the desert cottontail has a shorter rounded tail with white fur on the underside which ‘flashes’ as it runs away. It is also lighter colored than the jackrabbit; light grayish-brown with almost white fur on the belly. <br />

The sunbirds have <a href="http://gypsy70.blogspot.sg/2014/08/olive-backed-sunbirds-nesting-in-our.html" target="_blank">made a nest</a> in our <a href="http://www.giftsflorist2000.com/" target="_blank">flower shop</a> again, a HDB shop house at Ang Mo Kio, this is the 3rd time they built a nest. First time, the work was not done as I shifted the small plant which it built the nest. 2nd time the two sunbirds came back again and made a delicate nest on our Money Tree, that was around Aug last year...I have been watching and photographing the sunbirds nesting, feeding, baby bird growing up...Ha, this round they choose our newly arranged cherry blossom silk flowers for their home. The sunbirds fly in and out from the window, they doesn't scare of us at all. Can you imagine the birds built their nest inside HDB House, and they are so close to us, the nest just built at my eyes level...Well here are some photos...<br />
