It's good to meet Alan and Sonya again after more than 10 years. Previously, I guided them in Taman Negara Kuala Tahan. This time around, they requested to visit Fraser's Hill and drop them off at Cameron Highland. Instead of going directly to Fraser's Hill on the first day, I took them to Kuala Selangor to show them the coastal habitat and rice field so that they will be able to compare the type of birds, wildlife and weather condition.

Alan have not tasted Durian before, surprisingly both of them can finish the small fruit.

When we arrived in Cameron Highland, the weather is not the most favorable to look for birds. However, we still proceed to explore the areas.

Some of the highlights for the trip:

Red-headed Trogon

Silver-eared Mesia

Chestnut-capped Laughingthrush

Black Laughingthrush

Pygmy Cupwing

Fire-tufted Barbet

Black-browed Barbet

Mountain Fulvetta

Streaked Wren-babbler

White-throated Fantail

White-throated Kingfisher

Laced Woodpecker

Greater Flameback

Rufous Woodpecker

Brahminy Kite

Crested Serpent Eagle

Other wildlife:

Silvered Langur

Long-tailed Macaque

Pig-tailed Macaque

Short-tailed Gymnure

Grey-bellied Squirrel

Red-bellied Squirrel

Himalayan Striped Squirrel

Giant Mudskipper

After more than six long years apart, we’re beyond thrilled to finally come together for a long-awaited and exciting reunion! What makes this gathering even more special is that it's not just a visit—it's a celebration of friendship, shared passions, and new adventures. Andrew and Jenny, seasoned travelers who have explored Malaysia on several occasions before, are no strangers to its diverse birdlife. Their visits were often centered around bird photography and local food in the past. This time is no exception, they’ve returned for the same reasons.

This month, I’ve made several trips to Taman Negara, each time guiding different guests, all eager to experience the park’s renowned birding opportunities. Among avid bird enthusiasts, there’s always a personal wishlist of species to spot, but a few birds stand out as the ultimate prizes. TheGreat Argus and Malayan Peacock-Pheasant are high on everyone’s list, captivating the imaginations of all who venture into the park’s dense jungles. However, Taman Negara is home to many great species. The park’s rich biodiversity also includes a variety of other extraordinary birds, each with its own allure. Among them are the brilliant Garnet Pitta and Malayan Banded Pitta, whose vibrant plumage enchants any birdwatcher lucky enough to glimpse them. The Large and Striped Wren-babblers, both notoriously difficult to spot, add an element of excitement to the search. Then there’s the mysterious Rail-babbler and uncommon Cinnamon-rumped Trogon, whose elusive nature makes it the subject of fascination for many birdwatchers. Taman Negara truly offers an unparalleled experience for bird lovers, with each visit providing new opportunities to witness the beauty and diversity of Malaysia’s avian inhabitants.

Malayan Peacock-Pheasant

Great Argus

Malayan Weasel was too fast for me to react!

While we were waiting for the Malayan Peacock-Pheasant to make its elusive appearance, fortune smiled upon us in the form of an unexpected sighting: a Malay Weasel! This rare encounter marked only the second time I’ve ever had the pleasure of spotting one, the first being years ago when I was guiding Carsten through Bukit Fraser. The sighting was a delightful surprise, adding an unexpected thrill to our birdwatching excursion. It’s moments like these—when nature offers up its secrets in such an unexpected manner—that make these adventures truly unforgettable. The Malay Weasel, with its sleek body and curious demeanor, reminded us once again of the countless wonders Taman Negara has to offer beyond its famous bird species.

A group of Japanese birders were exploring the forest too when we were there. 

Everyone was overjoyed seeing a Cinnamon-rumped Trogon at almost eye-level

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.*
