Birding With Y Bird Japan Group Part V

12th - 17th April

The dry weather affected some of the sighting at Sepilok and Kinabatangan River such as Banded Kingfisher, White-bellied Woodpecker and Storm's Stork. But nevertheless, Bornean Bristlehead and Hooded Pitta showed itself well for my group led by Ken Tanaka. Bonus was a mother and juvenile Orang Utan too! Total list was 116 :D
