From KH
After a few hours drive from Mt Kinabalu, we reached Rainforest Discovery Centre.
The Canopy Walkway is a great place to see some of the common birds here.
Ashy Tailorbird
Chestnut-winged Babbler
Some of the Cream-vented Bulbuls here have red eyes! So care must be taken.
The Red-eyed Bulbuls actually have more orangey eyes here. Juveniles have dark eyes though.
The first endemic we encountered here was this male Yellow-rumped Flowerpecker.
Some of the sunbirds here included:
Juvenile van Hasselt's Sunbird
Female Brown-throated Sunbird
Some have split the Bornean Brown Barbet as a distinct species. It does look different from the Peninsular Malaysia ones, which are called Sooty Barbets after the split.
Saw this broadbill nest, but no idea who's it is.
Wallace Hawk-eagles were common here. This was a juvenile.
Another raptor we encountered today was this juvenile Brahminy Kite.
There were also a young Orangutan (right) and its shy mother around.
This Green Crested Lizard didn't want to show us it face.
Then, we heard a pitta call - Black-crowned Pitta!
