Hahaa! Yes I almost forgot that the weather in Singapore is a bit different then around here!

I don't know how they know when breeding time is in Singapore...it's permanent summer and the day length only varies by 30 mins all year long.

Nice pictures! It is almost that time of year here as well. I hope to take some nice shots of the mating rituals.
