About Denis

0169

Hello I am Denis Degullacion, quite a handful for the surname but you can just call me Denis. Been a Nature guide since 1985 and hometown was Sandakan until recent migration to Kota Kinabalu in 1997.
This blog was meant to share the world what Sabah Borneo has to offer and maybe a database for information for those who are interested to know more about Borneo avifauna, fauna and flora.
As Birding is my main interest, I am an enthusiast orchid guide, mammals and 4WD drive trekking. I have the means to arrange (camping equipment and vehicle’s) an overland 4WD into the heart of “Borneo” and will bring you places where men have never been.
Photography is another love and which will compliments my adventure in the wild and hope the pictures will be good enough to enjoy in this blog.
My photography (digiscoping) setup is made of Kowa TSN603 attach with universal adapter (kowa), using Nikon cool pix P5100 and L16 and Canon G9 compact cameras and recently bought Kowa adapter to attach my Nikon D300. My binocular is Nikon Monarch 10x42 and Leica BA series.
Contact me for further information. E-mail dgullaci@gmail.com or dgullaci@yahoo.co.uk or dgullaci@aol.com and you can also look me at www.flickr.com/photos/dgullaci
