"Life is beautiful. We added a collection of 120 types in our bird album!! We were very blessed to have Weng Chun with us in our Malaysia trip lately. This was our first photography bird trip at Malaysia. Weng loves birds since his studies in University. His enthusiasm and professionalism in wild birds helping us to identify each species very easy. With his help, we have had took pictures of 120 different birds in this trip. Of course we have seen more than 120!! He taught us how to identify different types of birds. He can easily identify birds and even it’s gender, sometimes it’s only a slight differences e.g. colour or pattern between male and female. Weng Chun is very hardworking, he marked down all names of birds in our cameras at the end of each single day. And a detailed record after the trip! Before the trip, he communicated with us by emails and WhatsApp, knowing our expectations and made a detailed itinerary. He managed the logistics between all bird sites and hotels well. During the trip, he showed us his broad knowledge in birds thoroughly. He knows well where the birds habitat. He can simply identify birds by their sounds. He can search and point out to us very quick. It’s an excellent experience to follow Weng Chun. If you are looking for an expert guide for birds watching or photography, we highly recommend Weng Chun to you." - Andrew & Jenny, Hong Kong
