"We had an enjoyable 3-day bird watching trip with WengChun at Fraser's Hill. We flew into Kuala Lumpur, and the pick up by WengChun was smooth. With WengChun's expert guiding (plus some luck!); we had the opportunity to have some pretty nice viewing of the Long Tailed Broadbills & the Silver-Breasted Broadbills. And surely had a good amount of time viewing the Red Headed Trogon on a misty morning. There were many other birds during the short trip; yet the three mentioned above were our favorites for our trip this time. Certainly the cool weather up at the hill was very refreshing too. Overall, we both appreciate WengChun's expertise and flexibility to make our trip so enjoyable including a stop to have Musang King durian! Well worth our flight from Hong Kong despite a very short trip. Thanks WengChun." - Carmen & Ken, HK
Carmen and Ken have been planning for this trip few months ago. Both have experience birding in Borneo and Thailand, but this is their first time birding in Fraser's Hill (Peninsular Malaysia). Carmen prefers to have good look at the birds while Ken spent a little more time to observe and capture the moments through his camera. During our stay up in the hill station, we managed to see some of the interesting species including star birds such as Red-headed Trogon, Long-tailed Broadbill, Silver-breasted Broadbill, Chestnut-capped (Spectacled) Laughingthrush, Silver-eared Mesia, Green Magpie, White-throated Fantail, Mountain Fulvetta, Sultan Tit, Fire-tufted Barbet, Black-browed Barbet, Javan (Large) Cuckooshrike, Black-and-Crimson Oriole, Lesser Yellownape, Grey-throated Babbler, Fire-breasted Flowerpecker, Yellow-crowned Warbler, Mountain Bulbul, Black-crested Bulbul and many more.
It was a weekend trip and we met several photographers targeting the Red-headed Trogon in a misty morning in Fraser's Hill.
Ken is also targeting the trogon just like anyone else
Fire-tufted Barbet - very vocal and we saw a few of this species
Little Cuckoo Dove. Not easy to spot this bird in the forested area.
Chestnut-crowned Warbler came close to us during our morning walk
On our back to KL, we stopped by for a Durian break. I didn't expect Carmen and Ken enjoy eating the local Durian. No other choice of Durian, the only one available is Musang King.
