Bukit Tabur | liewwk
a beautiful place with sunrise and dam view, and it is not very touch hike to the peak for photography but advice to have experience person to go together especially hike when dark … (chase for sunrise)
i. 20-30 min drive from KL city
ii. ~45-90 minutes slow hike , steep on start but after ~15min should be easy but some part require hand for hike)
after reach clear part to view the dam, it is the safe place to shoot sunrise … avoid go further …. as it is slight dagerous hike especially on dark

Buffy Fish Owl
The Buffy Fish Owl (Bubo ketupu), also known as the Malay Fish Owl, is a species of owl in the Strigidae family. It was previously placed in Ketupa with the other fish owls, but that group is tentatively included with the eagle-owls in Bubo, until the affiliations of the fish owls and fishing owls can be resolved more precisely.
