Pictures!

I thought it was about time to put up some photos from the last couple of weeks!

The Kinabatangan River at dusk.

A Proboscis Monkey settling down for the evening.

The black-backed kingfisher
(probably the best-coloured bird in the world, ever, surely!?)

Orang-utan ...

...and finally... me. My first leech bite, spectacularly positioned to look like a gun-shot wound. I did consider labelling this as 'The Final Straw', given the massive knife in my hand, but thought that might scare the parents a little. It really was just a leech, Mum.
