World Trip Reports

Malaysia (and a bit of Singapore) April 2009



Don't know how much chance I'll have to get on line but I'll have a quick go and see how it progresses.

Two weeks in the region, mostly self-guided, which could be a challenge. We've had a couple of fairly easy days to start with in KL and Singapore doing some birding and some city stuff.

So far 31 species definitely identified but 16 of those have been lifers. Pick of the birds (for me)

Black-thighed Falconet (Bukit Nanas, KL)
Oriental Pied Hornbill
Straw-headed Bulbul (both at Pulau Ubin, Singapore - thanks Patrick).

Off to Kuala Selangor next so list might grow quite fast. Also Tree Shrew sp, Silvered Langur and Wild Pig.


Hello Chris and Julie!

Well done with the Straw-headed Bulbul - hope you enjoyed Pulau Ubin and the cycle ride! Did you manage to get to Bukit Timah?

Keep the reports coming when you can - our House Martins arrived back Saturday morning.

All the best,


I'm impressed that you made it to Pulau Ubin. It looks impressive in the Lonely Planet Guide. Looking forward to reading about more of your travels.

Allen
