endemicguides Birds Report – 2016 May 16

We have day trip due to full schedule , original plan was going Fraser Hill but on the way.. it is tree fall down which block our way up and we make quick decision travel back to KRAU forest and may be quick one for Genting Highlands … we have total 65 species view and ~40 lifers for guest … with both Silver Breasted Broadbill and Rail Babbler clear view make the happy day .

Our reach is 9am which is slight late but we are doing very good in the morning 9am-1pm which we have 42 species and wonderful and clear view of RAIL Babbler …
