I moved to Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei at the end of August. My accommodation like much of the housing here in Brunei, is close to trees and patches of forest. As a result I have already seen plenty of wildlife from the comfort of my garden. I have seen three species of monkey here two of which are regular visitors. Southern pig tailed macaques have so far only visited once, so as yet I haven't any good photos of them. Silvered langurs and long tailed macaques are regulars however.

These langurs or silver leaf monkeys are quite wary and keep their distance, but regularly visit to feast on vine leaves.

In contrast to the wary langurs, the macaques are quite bold, regularly raiding gardens and bins. They travel in large troops led by an alpha male and with their large canines can appear quite intimidating.

This individual had pulled a nail from a neighbours roof and was chewing on it like a pipe smoker.
