Birding with Tom and Ck

1st - 4th September 2010



Tom managed to get 165 species with 28 endemics and 130 lifers within a week birding in Sarawak with Yeo and my place. Dipped on Whitehead's Trogon but got a pair of Mountain Serpent Eagle in flight yesterday at Tambunan Rafflesia Centre plus close up view of the Golden-naped Barbet from the observation platform at Kinabalu National Park.
