Birding in Borneo V

Day 2  Kinabalu Park - II

Dark-sided Flycatcher

This tiny flycatcher was sitting there quietly. How on earth did Osman spot him, I wonder!

When we were moving from one place to another, our driver, Julius spotted something in a tree by the road, which turned out to be a Grey-rumped Treeswift!

We had a good view of him through the scope as he didn't move even an inch while we were watching him.


Mt Kinabalu - awesome mountain!

local vegetable & fruit stores

After we checked in, this handsome fellow visited us in the garden.

Bornean Whistling Thrush

Osman told us the local university students ring birds in Kinabalu Park.

Another visitor to the garden

A squirrel again:)


We saw many interesting birds on that day but unfortunately we only managed to catch a glimpse of many of them, no chance for a photo...
