This was a splendid trip. We did not expect to see so many birds - both in species and in number. On the last day, we were actually surrounded by waves of bird - minivetss, sultan tits, woodshrikes, white-browed shrike-babbers, pygmy woodpeckers, and lots of yellow-billed nuthatch. We wish to thank Dr Kwan for inviting us to join the trip and in particularly Matthew who spotted so many birds for us.
Everyone of us though has at least one or two leeches climbed up their body but luckily not everyone got a bite. I think this is part of the admission fee to tropical rainforest. We noticed that the route leading up to the watchtower in the core area is least infested with leech.
