Taman Negara NP, Malaysia

June/July 2015
Visited this national park for a week at the end of June. We did not see many bird species as expected & also missed our targets the Pittas. Maybe our visit was a bit late while the weather was too dry. There was no rain for 2 weeks & it didn't help when heavy rain came in our last 2 days. Meanwhile, the scenery of the rainforest was great , especially when we hired a boat to go upstream in shallow water to look for birds. The experience of walking on the canopy bridge was also amazing.
