River of Life
The river sustains an abundance of animal life. If you take a quiet walk by the river, you will be pleasantly surprised to find birds, insects and all kinds of interesting animals by the river. Fish is in abundance and you can see them in the clear water during the high tide. When the sun is hot and overhead, many lizards will come out to bask in the heat. They will remain motionless for hours enjoying the heat. Another wonderful discovery is a family of kingfishers who nests by the river. It is not uncommon to see them waiting by the railings for their prey and then swooping down into the water to catch their meals.

Fish caught in our trap. They were released later

Fortunately this fish is spared from someone's dinner and released later in the day.

This big one that did not get away. It was caught by anglers by the river side.

It is not uncommon to see groups of terrapins swimming in the water. They were probably released by some irresponsible pet owners.
