I spent 3 days in Cameron Highlands from 17th to 19th April, stayed at
Lutheran Mission Bungalow. Not many birds I had spotted as compared to last year, partly due to the rain during the day, and it was also a holiday in Perak state. Here are the birds that I digiscoped.

| Malayan Patridges |

Chestnut-capped Laughingthrush
|
 |
| Crested Serpent Eagle |
I had my first birding trip to Cameron Higlands from 4-6 July 2009, organized by the Selangor Bird Group. Here are the digiscoped pictures from last year visit.

| Golden-throated Barbet |

| Mountain Imperial Pigeon (a chicken size pigeon) |
 |
| Little Cuckoo-Dove (Macropygia ruficeps) |

Besides wild birds, Cameron Highlands also has many beautiful mossy forests, these forests are also home to many montane flora and fauna species.

ReplyDeleteHi Boon Eu
ReplyDeleteCan you remember where the Whistling-thrush was? We ringed it on 25 April 2009 at Parit Falls, and it would be interesting to know exactly where it was when you saw it. Can you send me a Grid Ref (from Google Earth)?
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave, I saw it at the Parit Falls, and I believe it is still there, coz whenever I visited CH, I can hear the call.
ReplyDeleteAnother one I saw was on the way up to Gunung Brinchang, after the vegetable farm, but it was very early in the morning when the sky was still not very bright.
