"Thanks again - such a great day!"
- Ed, Australia
A BIG day indeed!
It was an absolutely BIG day for Ed! We were out birding from dawn until dusk, soaking in every moment of the adventure. Our day kicked off with some incredible birding in Hulu Langat, where we were lucky enough to spot Blyth's Frogmouth and Brown Boobook.
After a simple morning meal at a local restaurant, we dove right back into the forest to continue our birding expedition. Next, we made our way to the mangrove, determined to spot as many bird species as we possibly could before heading to the open field for more birdwatching.
The joy on Ed's face was unmistakable - it was clear that he was savoring every single minute of our epic birding day. Today was a day to remember, filled with excitement, adventure, and the beauty of nature.

As I continue to immerse myself in the world of birds and nature, I am constantly inspired by the beauty and diversity of the natural world. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my work with others and to educate and inspire through my images. Your support and patience are truly appreciated as I strive to showcase the wonders of wildlife in the most authentic and impactful way possible. Together, we can raise awareness and appreciation for the importance of conservation and preservation of our planet's precious ecosystems. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
*UPDATE: After a series of consultations, the issue affecting my mobility has been identified. As a result, I will need to attend therapy. My travel plans must be tailored to minimize the amount of time spent walking, trekking on uneven terrain, and to avoid prolonged periods of standing or sitting.*
