Guiding Ruud was very enjoyable. Very pleasant guy and easy to talk to. It was a short birding holiday for him in Fraser's Hill, so I had to try my best to find the birds for him within 2 days birding. Weather was good for both days and we even got a great view of Brown Wood Owl.
The highlights for the 2 days include: Red-headed Trogon, Fire-tufted Barbet, Buff-breasted Babbler, Lesser Shortwing, Long-tailed Sibia, Silver-eeared Mesia, Mountain Bulbul, Black-and-Crimson Oriole, Chestnut-capped Laughingthrush, Malayan Laughingthrush, Rufous-browed Flycatcher, Malayan Partridge, Black-browed Barbet, Speckled Piculet, Red-throated Barbet, Large Cuckooshrike, Long-tailed Broadbill, Rufescent Prinia, Pygmy Cupwing, Golden Babbler, Little Cuckoo-Dove, Sultan Tit, Maroon Woodpecker, White-rumped Shama, Little Pied Flycatcher, Large Niltava, Fire-breasted Flowerpecker, Streaked Spiderhunter, Black-throated Sunbird, White-browed Shrike-babbler, Red-bearded Bee-eater, Mountain Fulvetta, Mountain Bulbul, Grey-chinned Minivet, Black-eared Shrike-babbler, Black-browed Barbet, Blue Nuthatch, Long-tailed Sibia, Brown Wood Owl

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.*
