somewhere out there ...

23rd dec 2007

not in the mood for birding, when i woke up this morning around 5am, suddenly it came to my mind about broad-billed sandpiper and red knot that was found by fellow birders last month at kota belud.

so drove this morning while listening to rock music at the same time enjoying the mists that covered along the way from my parents house to the paddy fields, what a nice feeling ...

when i arrived, sun was blocked by thick clouds but mt. kinabalu stands proud from the distance and it reminds me of someone whom i missed so much and far away from me :0

went back home after few hours looking on the field but still unlucky with the sandpiper and knot, maybe next time as what i normally whispers to myself hahaha :p

quite far from the main road, few of these purple swamphen seen feeding together with watercocks and white-breasted waterhens.
