Day 11 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (13^th March) – Superb Sunday

We decided to go off down the waterfall road as recent reports of sighting along it had been quite encouraging. Stopped at the dump and watched the flies rising in swarms off the rotting garbage.

Really good views had of a Verditer flycatcher sitting on an upturned dustbin lid amongst the rubbish.

As we were leaving Mr. Durai arrived with a small group, looking for the resident Blyth’s Hawk-Eagle.

We set off down the waterfall road and stopped on the first big ‘S’ bend and were immediately awarded with stunning views of a pair of Red-headed Trogon at one point only about 20 yards away collecting moss off a telegraph pole.

We drove on down a few hundred yards and parked the car and just drifted down the road. Good looks at Banded Kingfisher, and few small bird waves.

Called in at the new golf-club for tea (RM7 a cup!!). this place looks like it has potential as all the fairways and greens are cut into the rain forest, although some of the surrounding slopes have been severely denuded by tree felling, however, I don’t think that they would welcome hoards of birders tramping about the place.

We wondered if we paid out green fees and walked around as though we were playing golf with the telescope on its tripod hidden in a golf bag, if we would be asked to leave. Next time maybe.  

We walked back up the road from the waterfall car park and caught a fleeting glimpse of a sandy brown bird with a big fanned tail which was completely tipped with white and could only have been a White-hooded Babbler (a better look would have been appreciated), and a really good look at Slaty-backed Forktail’s on the road. We also had fleeting glimpses of a small blue flycatcher but it’s identity remained a mystery.

Met up with Tim and Katie for lunch then swanned around the Telekom Loop without much success (too hot), and then tried our luck at the top of the Bishop’s trail and were rewarded with a  superb 24 species bird wave including a first look at Long-tailed Broadbill, a bird that eluded us last time we came.

Day 12 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (14^th March).

Foggy up at the top of the hill so we set off down the waterfall road again and parked up at the car park at the bottom. Searching for a Yellow-bellied Prinia, in the grass opposite the car park, we managed to find a Lanceolated Warbler which responded very well to pishing to a point where it was less than a meter away at one point. 

A walk up the road produced good views of Banded Broadbill, Silver Breasted Broadbill, Black-bellied Malkoha,  and Red-headed Trogon, but very little else.

We headed back up the hill once is was obvious that the fog had lifted, and did the Hemmant train from the mosque end and were no more that 10 yards into the trail before the first bird wave came sweeping through.

Superb views of Rufous-browed Flycatcher, as well as Speckled Piculet. Further along the trail we managed to find Large hawk-Cuckoo which although skulky in nature provided some good views, Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush, White-tailed Robin, Large Niltava, and Buff-breasted Babbler.

Lunch at the Roti Channai restaurant at the Punkak Inn again (habit forming).

Spent the afternoon, drifting around the ends of various trails before finally tracking down the Malaysian Whistling Thrush in the woods above the golf course on Valley Road.

Heavy rain from 17:00 onwards curtailed the day’s activities.

Day 13 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (15^th March)

Much the same as yesterday. A foggy start forced us down the waterfall road and birding was slow, but we did manage to get a good look at the blue flycatcher from two days previous and ID’d it as a Hill Blue.

Apart from a pair of displaying Pygmy-blue Flycatchers on the Hemmant trail, birding was very slow until we stopped half way along the Hemmant train surrounded by a bird wave and watched in awe as a Japanese Paradise Flycatcher, in perfect condition with gorgeous plum coloured tail streamers danced around in the trees in front of us. The bird of the holiday so far for both of us.

Afternoon on the Telekom Loop was tedious and boring with very little to show for out efforts, apart from a group of Sultan Tits rollicking through the forest below the radio towers.

Day 14 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (16^th March)

Yet another foggy morning on the hill so we headed down old road and I was dropped off at a point 3 km’s down and started to walk down, in order to meet Carl and John coming up the hill, having parked at the Gap resthouse. Very little to be seen apart from one small wave with a Rufous Piculet amongst others, and good views of Mountain Imperial Pigeon in a tree (made a change from see their under sides at 40 mph).

I met up with the other two strolling along at a point 2.3 km’s up the road at the forestry trail. On the way up they had managed to find a pair of nesting Silver-breasted Broadbills which we stopped and photographed on the way back.

Of note on the way down was my first sighting of a Collared Owlet, albeit a brief one as it plummeted off it’s perch and down into the forest below the road.

We had sandwiches at the Gap, and then drifted down the hill towards Kota Kubu Bahru, before driving to FRIM for another wander about. Apart from a brief view of Finny swimming about on the pond and nice views of a Common Kingfisher again, it was reasonably quiet at the pond, until the Straw-headed Bulbuls started calling from the right hand side in the tall trees.

We walked about a bit and eventually manage to collar them in trees beside the school playground where very good views were obtained.

Took Carl into KL in order to catch a train to the airport before heading for out Hotel at Petaling Jaya.

Day 15 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (17^th March)

We had arranged to meet Banard Lau at the hotel at 7 am. He guided us through the traffic chaos that is KL in the morning rush hour and we reached Taman Rimba Ampang where we went for stroll along the road through the park to the far end where we camped out by the river for an while opposite a very busy fruiting tree that was a real bird magnet.

There was a constant procession of birds through the tree and in the surrounding forest. We had really good views of a pair of Helmeted Hornbill flying across the valley. The fruiting tree produced Blue-and-White Flycatcher, Forest Wagtail, Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot, Blue-eared Kingfisher, Large Wood Shrike, Sultan Tit, Finsch’s Bulbul, Jambu Fruit-Dove.

The walk back out revealed Thick-billed Flower-pecker, Rufescent Prinia and Yellow-rumped Flycatcher.

From Ampang we drove to Pasoh Forest Reserve via a twisty cross country route and arrived at Simpang Pertang where we diverted to look for Lesser Tree Ducks on the fish farm ponds but we were unable to locate them despite the locals confirming that there was a big flock around the area.

Despite having organised the trip to Pasoh through the offices at FRIM, we were not expected but once the relevant paperwork was produced there were no further problems. We even managed to negotiate custody of the padlock to the front gate in order to prevent being locked in for the night.

The heat at Pasoh was oppressive and our day of birdwatching in Malaysia was very slow mainly due to the enclosed nature of the forest. We never managed to get into the heart of the reserve as we arrived quite late, but given the heat I think that was a good thing.

We retired to the accommodation block area and birded around the huts. As the sun set there were several Blue-rumped parrots flying over (identified by their red armpits), and a single Black Hornbill, and a pair of Ruddy-backed Kingfishers of note.

Once dark we started to spot light and almost immediately found a Barred Eagle Owl which flew into the arboretum and disappeared, and that was it. There was nothing else seen or heard which was a shame as I had heard that the reserve was excellent for nocturnal bird.

I think in hind sight we should have planned to stay locally, and stayed a lot later and not to have worried about the long drive back to KL, which saw us back into the hotel at about 23.00.

Day 16 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (18^th March)

We decided to day to go to Hulu Langat and managed to negotiate the traffic without too many traumas or wrong turns. As soon as we arrived and stopped out of the car we managed to locate a Red-naped trogon but views were very brief. The other target bird we had hoped to see was Dusky Broadbills, but they refused to show although we did think we heard them. I managed a good look at a stunning Grey-headed Babbler before if disappeared into the undergrowth. A stunning chestnut and grey bird with a beady yellow eye.

We crossed over to the next valley (Sungai Chonkak) and walked around the park and found a good selection of bulbul’s in a fruiting tree adjacent to the football pitch but not a lot else of note. Back to the hotel for an early dinner. There was no sign of the reported Dusky Broadbills at the top campsite (maybe too late in the day).

Day 17 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (19^th March)

We should have been flying home today but had managed to extend the holiday by a day by re-jigging the flight home for the 20^th. We decided to make a real day of it and decided to driver to 200+kms to the Sungai Balang paddyfields to see if we could find the Steppe eagle reported to have been seen within the last few weeks.

We set off early and reached SB about 10.30. It was a very hot day and the Black Kites and Adjutant storks were circling high over the fields on the thermals. We criss-crossed the area and found a really good selection of birds including White-winged Black terns, a single Shrenck’s Bittern, a Booted Eagle and two Steppe Eagle, making the long trip worthwhile.

Back to the hotel to pack and have dinner.

Day 18 of Birdwatching in Malaysia (20^th March)

Up early and drove to the airport hoping to beat the expected traffic jams for the FI race at Sepang later that day. We dumped the car in the drop off zone, walked up to the departure desks to be shown that the flight was not expected to leave until 14.30, some 3 hours late.

We went straight down to the car rental desk and were allowed to have the car back for 3 hours so we headed off for the coast at Tumbok. The first stop we made at Batu Laut was just to look at the sands more in hope than anything, as the tide was out. There was one solitary bird near the waterline which turned out to be a Nordmann’s Greenshank, a bird we had both hoped to see, so it finished the holiday off nicely.

At Tumbok there were a large number of terns and waders on the beach and the pond at the ‘Romantic Beach restaurant’ produced a Cimmanon and a yellow Bittern and a Pond Heron but no Black bittern this time.

Managed to get back to the airport without major problems despite a lot more traffic heading for the FI circuit. The flight was then further delayed as it was deemed the fly past at the Grand prix was more important than an international Flight to London and they closed the air space around the airport until the fly past was completed. Madness!!

Arrived home to a cold and wet UK having had a wonderful time of birdwatching in Malaysia.

About by Mat Wilson, who is a member of the Birding Planet Facebook group:  I started bird watching in Canada in 1977, when my dad, who was a pilot in the RAF, was posted out to CFB Trenton in Ontario, as an exchange posting with the Canadian Air Force. I was fascinated by all the different species that were around and bought my first bird book when we moved out there for 3 years.

This series was about birdwatching in Malaysia, but I have also birded in Canada , USA, Malaysia , Bali, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Cook Islands, Spain, Greece, and of course the UK and Ireland. I suffer from several illnesses which restrict my travel now, so I’m confined to what are deemed to be safe countries (that is, not tropical), as my immune system is compromised.

Still I’ve managed to see over 350 species in the UK since I re-started birding in the UK. My favourite birding location in the world, has to be Fraser’s Hill in Malaysia.
