18th - 22th August 2010
Spent nearly a week at Rutland Water for the annual British Bird Festival which attracted around 20 thousands visitors during the 3 days events. Met with few Birdforum and Oriental Bird Club members plus got few new birds for my world list too :)
I'm grateful to Noredah from Sabah Tourism Board for the trip. Hope to work with Sabah Tourism again in the future promoting birdwatching activities in Sabah, Borneo.
