MikeBirder - Malaysian Birds

Hi

Welcome to my Malaysian Birding Blog. I migrated to blogspot.com as my blog at multiply.com closed shop in 2012. I wish to showcase all Malaysian birds that I have photographed whether here or overseas. My countdown of lifers started in 2005. Coming to Oct 2022 my countdown of lifers photograph has reached
559/688 species of birds of Malaysia in photos.

My shooting gear was a EF400mm f4 DO lens and Canon 7D body which to me is the ideal setup for mobility and bird chasing at that time. Eventhen the weight over my shoulder is more that 5.5 kg. As of June 2016 I have also acquired a Fuji XF 100-400mm OIS lens to complement my travelling cum birding trip overseas. My Fuji X-T2 went kaput recently and I upgraded to the X-T5 in 2023 ; the weight over my shoulder is much lighter now by 30%. In December 2018 I acquired the Nikon Coolpix P1000 as supplementary camera for distance shooting of 3000mm.
Fuji have finally made available their new XF 200-600mm lens which I yet to decide to spend another RM10,000. As for Fuji body I will stop with X-T5 36megapixel ..........

I am a weekend birder. Do feel free to drop me a line at mikebirding@gmail.com and I see whether you can tag along in my outings. My usual day trip is just an hour ride away to Hulu Langat, Lancang, Kemensah, Krau, Awana, Hulu Kali, Gombak Ole Road, Fraser's Hill , Bukit Tinggi and KSNP & Coastal Sg Janggut Jeram side of the coast . Overnite trip to Merapoh & Cameron, Air Hitam and further north to Kuala Sidim is a seldom affair but for lifer we travel. Panti in Johor is another good birding site that I yet to go. Then there are the Borneo birds of Sabah and Sarawak of Malaysia which I seriously much go to chalk up more lifers. This I did in 2018 to Sepilok Sandakan and Kinabalu Park. Next Danum and LahatDatu.......

WARNING Birding is an addiction once you started its hard to stop. The wifey and children are now birding widow and orphan.

Avian Birding Site - Lenggor Forest Park Johor





In 2019 I got an invitation from my good birding buddies ML with AT tagging along to this  "Babbler" paradise in Johor.  It is supposedly in par with Bukit Rengit. Pahang when comes to babblers. Lenggor is about 330km away or 3.5 hours plus from Kuala Lumpur. The nearest town is Kahang where you can stay overnight which we impromptu check in to Hotel 128 a very decent shophouse convert. Best room, of course, is the front-facing one with windows but if you cannot take the lorry noise during the wee hours you may opt for the phobic intermediate rooms. Cost for 3 pax room RM110.

The target birds here is the Garnet Pitta, Rail Babbler,  Grey-breasted Babbler, Striped Wren-Babbler & Scimitar Babbler. They say even the Spotted fantail and seasonal Scarlet breasted Flowerpecker can be sighted here too.

For us birder good food comes synonymous with our outing. Dennis eat your heart out....lol.  In Kahang there are a few Chinese restaurant to wilt your appetite. Cheap and good. However bear in mind in small town food outlet close early. If you reached their restaurant pass their business hours you go without lunch. Some bread/pastry can come in handy.

    Hi Mike I read your article about Lenggor. Sounds very enticing for getting babbler and hence I would like to try the site end of this month. Can you let me know how to get to the birding sites where the babblers are found? Thanks. Dr Chan.
