Its been a while guiding to Pulau Gaya and to Pulau Sapi.
Pulau Gaya has not lost it's charm and the jungle trails were maintain very well and got a picture of a wild orchid sp (cymbidium finlaysonianum)
The only difference that I notice was that the ending point (the Padang) is now developed and has proper toilet, a reception hall and a ticket booth.
The jetty was also built finally to make it easier to embark on to the boat. Previously we had to get wet and had to climb into the boat.
Then it was off to Pulau Sapi, it was busy with local and international visitors likewise. After taking lunch the "dragons of Sapi" suddenly came out from the jungle to display their interest on the leftovers.
Without warning a "mangrove blue-flycatcher" sighted not far from the dragons. It was perching under the bbq pit which was already cooled. However I had only the G9 and this was the result.
Happy reading

Late updating, few trips with Jason and CK. We had a good sight of the Whitehead Spider Hunter. They took pictures (digiscoping). Have not seen it yet.
