White-crown Shama


This bird was once roam Sabah's forest in abundance before they were poached as cage birds. As I could remember their numbers were abundance that you could always hear them singing in the early mornings, calling each other or just plain singing their hearts out be it trying to please the females or just marking their presence.


Happy Birding

Long-tail Shrike


The long-tail shrike - bentet sp. has build its home at the foot of mount Kinabalu at a small township called Kundasang (known to local as the highest mountain market in Borneo). This small town also houses some of the local hotels, lodges and bed & breakfast for travelers all over the world. A destination that should not be missed.  


Happy Birding.
