Birds in Danum Valley

Our family stayed at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge, Danum Valley for only 4 nights, but we are quite lucky to bump into the Bristlehead, 6 Hornbills, 13 raptors and a collection of other goodies, adding up to around 110 species in total. With most birds in trees up to 40m tall, it wasn't always easy to get photos; but the birdwatching part was definitely very exciting! For family birders, great food and impeccable service at the lodge should be a real appeal!

So many attractive birds! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your comments!!! =)

Here are some feline photos - the Marbled Cat was miles away but stayed for a long time, and the Leopard Cat was really close, but disappeared as a flash of gold as I stole this single shot. 35516184ceba445
