16th-21st March 2024
4th trip to Sabah and these time for the rarest birds such as Bornean Peacock-Pheasant, Bulwer's Pheasant, Crested Partridge, Red-breasted Partridge, Crimson-headed Partridge, Bornean Crested Fireback, Everett's Thrush and Hook-billed Bulbul and we got it all at Mt. Trusmadi, Mt. Alab, Mt. Kinabalu, Telupid and Klias Forest Reserve.
The hardest was the Hook-billed Bulbul at Klias and had a decent view on our 2nd attempt at the 2 KM long boardwalk. Good birding...
