Part 1 Bird Survey - Telupid n Kinabatangan

Did some bird survey in the month of November. The purpose of this survey was to record the endemics and thier extend of habitats.
Since this is only a preliminary survey, the survey is done randomly and will need more time to cover the extend of the forest of Telupid and Kinabatangan.
Will continue to post Part 2 of this survey soon.

Happy Birding.

2nd Day Outing with CK and Osman

This is our 2nd break (from guiding) and decided to try our neighborhood jogging park. The result were quite surprising and my lifer was a Japanese Sparrow Hawk for that day. It was hovering for a minute and then disappear in the hills. Later saw it again with CK, this time it was eating something on a tree but quite obscure to take any picture and then it was gone.
Happy Birding.
