Section 3 Scenes Malaysian Birding Sites

I am staying in Peninsula Malaysia. We, Malaysian are all blessed. There is still so much wilderness  and wide bio-diversity. It is fast disappearing but it still available, just a  short ride away.

A birder here needs to know the kind of birds that one is after, it won't be difficult to sight them or many a times, a lifer as well. It is difficult to identify which are the good birding sites. I think that many of the places I have been are regular haunts to the locals. If you need guidance, I hope the list shown is a good clue to start off with.

About Birding sites. They are all fragile. Then, there are problems of inadequate conservation laws, enforcement, public spiritless of birders to highlight deviations, civic mindedness of non birders and finally poachers to content with. I evaded giving directions to these spots. For the more public areas, a GPS waypoint as trail head may sometimes be included.

p.s.You know that this symbol stands for bad news. Yes, these sites had disappeared -taken over by humans.
