Started off our trip early in the morning before breakfast and ticked 2 species of nightjar - Large-tailed and Savanna. After breakfast, we stopped by at the infamous heronry in Putrajaya. Next destination is the coastal with small patches of mangrove for shrike, cuckoo, sunbird, and others.    Enroute to Taman Negara, we stopped by at a lowland forest to see as many species as possible. Pretty rewarding I must say... broadbills, trogon, kingfisher, babblers, bulbuls, flowerpeckers, woodpeckers, leafbirds, and pitta. We located a fruiting tree at a distant and managed to see a pair of Rhinoceros Hornbill feeding. In Taman Negara, there is an on-going signage work along the boardwalk. Finally, proper directional signage that will benefit all trail...

It has been an awesome birding with Thomas for the past few months, almost 1 year. For a final trip, we went up to Fraser's Hill to tick a few more species which eluded us previously. Some of our primary targets for this trip were Collared Owlet, Malaysian Partridge, White-tailed Robin, Silver-breasted Broadbill, Dusky Broadbill, Slaty-backed Forktail, and Blue-winged Minla. Upon arrival at the hill station, we tried to get 2 species - Slaty-backed Forktail and Malaysian Partridge. It was the Collared Owlet that greeted us! After a long wait, we could not get any sign of the forktail and partridge. Almost 2 hours later, I was trying to convince Thomas we should get going so that we can try other species. At that very moment, the 1 adult partridge appears, followed by...

"Thank you, Weng Chun for your hospitality and great birding! We truly enjoyed the benefits of your years of hard work. Most of all, your passion for the birds and your excitement when showing them to us made the trip! Every bird, and particularly, every Hornbill never gets old for you." - John, USA We started the trip from Kuala Lumpur early in the morning, and our first birding stop was Kuala Selangor Nature Park. A good start but weather was a bit hard on us (as usual). Time really flies when you are birding in this park - we spent about 3-4 hours here and by the time we reach the car park, all of us were exhausted. Some of the highlights include white morph Asian (Amur) Paradise Flycatcher - good spotting John!, Cinereous Tit, Ruby-cheeked Sunbird, Plain-throated...
