14th - 16th October 2011
It was a huge success with more than 3000 visitors came during the recent Borneo Bird Festival aka BBF at Rainforest Discovery Centre, one of the best place to see the endemic Bornean Bristlehead, Rufous-collared Kingfisher, Great Slaty Woodpecker and many more !
Had a great time with the gang displaying some of the bird and mammal pictures for visitors at the same time, we received a good response in regards with Digiscoping ~ The uses of spotting scope coupled with compact or DSLR camera via adapter by explaining to them the benefits etc in capturing images and videos while birding.
Thanks to Tee Nikon Malaysia, Irene from Sandakan Foto, Roy and Winston from Celcom Malaysia and Brian Erwin at Think Tank Photo for the sponsors.

Looks like a lot of fun....Hmmn, do I need a V1 with my af-s 300 f4? Could be fun too!
Great & memorable time with the gang!
A fantastic post to read and view my friend... Please pass on my best wished to Noredah (I hope I have her name right)next time you see her.
Take care and I hope you and your family are all well...
One of the best excuses to be with everybody is undoubtedly BBF!
