Malaysia




20 Mar - 3 days in Malaysia, at Fraser's Hill in the highlands (photos - no 3, Chestnut-capped Laughing-Thrush), and then Kuala Selangor on the coast. It took a day or 2 to acclimatize to the heat and get over the time change - the mountains much cooler than the coast, very humid. Highlights included Gibbons and Leaf monkeys, as well as a mixture of resident Malaysian birds - Storks, Eagles, Buffy Fish Owl - and migrants such as Sandplovers, Terek Sandpiper and Harriers. Next stop Hong Kong and Mai Po Wetlands. I also have a rash from my insect repellent which is starting to fade....

  1. Hi Jonathan, sounds like you are having a great time with the monkeys. hope the rash not too bad, no chance of any heat wave here.
    We are surviving just, without you.
    Have a great time, Sharon and followers
