A hide along one of the trails at Kuala Selangor. Here around the ponds and in the mangroves we’ll search for a number of species including Chestnut-bellied Malkoha, Mangrove Pitta, Mangrove Whistler and Mangrove Blue Flycatcher.
One of the hilltop houses we visit at Fraser’s Hill we encountered…
…the delightful Collared Owlet…
…and this handsome Mountain Viper.
We’ll travel on a boat for three hours to Taman Negara along the Kuala Tembling, watching carefully for a variety of hornbills and raptors.
Our spacious air-conditioned Taman Negara lodge is right at the edge of the forest and has fine birding right from the porch.
Taman Negara has an excellent system of forest trails accessible directly from the Lodge.
Taman Negara is the premier birding location in Malaysia and nearly all of Malaysia’s forest species can be seen here such as this male Green Broadbill…
…this Yellow-eared Spiderhunter…
or this equally stunning Paradise Tree Snake.
Malaysia has several forest kingfishers including the Banded, here a male…
…and here a female.
One afternoon we’ll slowly float down the Tahan—a beautiful forest stream where we look for several kingfisher species, the highly sought after Masked Finfoot and…
…Black-and-red Broadbill.
Black-naped Monarch nested near the Sukau Rainforest Lodge…
…and Moustached Hawk-Cuckoo was literally right outside our rooms.
While at Sukau, we took a delightful river ride to look for hornbills and Storm’s Storks.
Danum Valley is certainly the finest location to birdwatch in the lowlands of Sabah (Borneo) and we saw many species from this canopy walkway…
…and near this small stream.
Our wonderful lodge at Danum Valley outside of which we saw…
…the remarkably human-looking Red Leaf Monkey.
Mt. Kinabalu, here shrouded in rising mist, is well-known for…
…rhododendrons.
The rare and threatened Chinese Egret has wintered recently in wetlands near Kota Kinabalu.
