Brunei Trip

My first assignment outside Sabah this year, guiding for a tour operator in Brunei and this was my second tour.

This time it was more easy to guide after taking more time to learn about the country and the group was very attentive despite using a translator in the bus.

Took some pictures of the buses and a signage that took my attention and curiosity. The spelling is quite catchy for a Malaysian point of view.

Aerial pictures of the ground using my Samsung i780. This was my first time upload picture using the phone camera.

Happy reading.

Birding with Mr & Mrs Wolfgang

My first birding work for 2010.

Our frist bird was the Blue Naped Parrot - in flocks, Imperial Green Pigeon, Glossy Starlings, Little Green Pigeon, White Breasted Woodswallow, Collared Kingfisher, Eurasian Tree Sparrow, Olive backed sunbird, Black Headed Munia, Zebra Dove, Spotted Necked Dove, Koel (heard only), Yellow Vented Bulbul.
When the birding was slowing at the beach, we moved to Likas Wetland Sanctuary. Little Egret, Intermediate Egret, Cattle Egret, Green Shank, Common Iora.

Happy Birding.
