This beautiful orchid was blooming at Tawau Hills Park located 24Km from Tawau town.
Puan Rohaya and Cik Roslina with a Tawau Hills Park Ranger showing the album of orchids and other plants and insects found around the area.
Puan Rohaya and Cik Roslina is the price winner of a lucky draw during the Matta Tourism Expo and their win brings them to Sabah - Tawau to Balung Eco-Resort and Tawau Hills Park.
Chestnut breasted Malkoha sighted just outside my accommodation.
This Grey-bellied Spider hunter was so quick that I can only managed to get the lower part of its features.
Orange-bellied Flowerpecker calling for its mate in the early morning hour.
A flock of Chestnut Munia feeding along the road to the Tawau Airport which note the end of my journey with Puan Rohaya and Cik Roslina.
A Black Shoulder Kite (correction) flying alongside is Pacific Swallow, which the former was sighted carrying twigs to build a nest just next to the road side. I initially wrote peregrine falcon..apology to all readers.
Happy Birding.
