Summary

[edit]
Description Mission accomplished! Despite reading a lot of negativity about the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, it had actually been quite an enjoyable trip there. I was particularly pleased with all the wildlife I'd been able to photograph there. On the way back to Sandakan, my hawk eyed driver guide suddenly braked sharply so that I could look at this water monitor (bayawak) that was by the side of the road. I didn't have my 70-300 lens on, so I quickly jumped out with my 18-105, by which time the creature had started moving away. He disappeared rather quickly after that, though pausing every few steps, n typical reptile style. This is the best I could get of him. Anyway, I'd photographed bayawaks rather close on the Kinabatangan river a couple of days earlier, and have also photographed them earlier in the Philippines and in Sri Lanka, so was not too disappointed.
