23-26th February 2018
Jim was with me in 2013 for the montane endemics at Kinabalu. After a few years, he decided to try the lowland specialty such as Pitta and Bristlehead. Stayed for a few days at Kawag Danum Rainforest Lodge, it was a bit quiet than usual. Managed to get 2 Pitta and Trogon with other species too.
Highlights were:
- Bornean Banded Pitta
- Black and Crimson Pitta
- Large Frogmouth
- Orange-breasted Trogon
- Speckled Piculet
