silvered leaf monkey of Bintan Resorts

Silver leaf monkey

By now you would already smelled that I have been preoccupied with other unimportant matters such that this blog is left unattended for two weeks. Well I’m still up to my neck with stuffs, such that a few more interesting frames from my Yogyakarta visit need to wait a little while.

I do have, however, this cute silvered leaf baby monkey (Trachypithecus cristatus) that I shot only yesterday during one of the numerous mangrove surveys. Listed as endangered species, this is my first clear shot of the monkey in my 11 years in Bintan Resorts.

It came in view, as my many other lucky shots, only for a few seconds. That time I still had my settings for HDR with auto-bracketing active. I had no time to change the dial. Three shots. This one came out the best. I hope you like it and have a great weekend!
