1-4th February 2024
First time in Sabah were greeted with daily rain in Sandakan and Kinabatangan area, but still got to find few special birds for Pin and family such as Orange-backed Woodpecker, Violet Cuckoo, Black-crowned Pitta, Whitehead's Broadbill and Bornean Stubtail. On Day 3 at the rive, saw mostly primates; Colugo, Silver Leaf Monkey, Proboscis Monkey and Long-tailed Macaque.
