This was a two-week trip to Sabah which I set up with Borneo Birding Tours, with the itinerary based on previous experience birding independently in Sabah and to target some specific birds.
The trip included a morning’s birding along
the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia for Mangrove Pitta and an overnight stay
on Mantanani Island for the Mantanani Scops Owl. In addition, there were a few
extra days birding, which included the Botanical Gardens in Shah Alam, the sub-montane forests near Bukit Tinggi east of Kuala Lumpur and the Mount Trusmadi area of
the Crocker Range.

Overall, the trip was very successful with close
to 300 birds seen by the participants. Depending on the side trips and
individual birding, some participants had quite a few more than 300 species. I
had 309 species recorded for the trip of which 40 were lifers.

Crested Partridge |
Aside from birding, the highlights for the
trip included seeing Bornean Orangutan a number of times, with very close
encounters at Danum Valley, Sundaic Leopard Cat and three Yellow-throated
Marten.
The weather was typically very hot and humid
in the lowland areas and very pleasant and cool in the highland areas.
We had four local guides for the trip, all of
whom provided a good range of skills and local expertise. Lee in particular was
excellent for the couple of days we had birding in Peninsular Malaysia. Hazwan who
guided us for the main part of the trip, did very well managing the
group, which was difficult at times. We had two of the best local guides for
Danum Valley. KK Lee, who took us out for the last day in the Crocker Range,
has constructed and operates one of the best bird hides I have seen in Asia.
Yeo of Borneo Birding Tours, who set up the overall trip, provided us with a
very well planned and successful trip.
Overall, the trip cost close to US$200/day per
person (twin share) including all domestic airfares, accommodation, meals, guiding and transport. This compares with birding tours to Sabah, offered
by the commercial birding companies for 2023, costing between US$500 and US$800/day
per person (twin share). In addition, we had quite a few more species of birds
compared to the typical standard 10 to 12 day Sabah tour offered by commercial
birding companies.

Thursday
16th March: Melbourne to KL
Flew on Malaysia Airlines departing Melbourne
at 14:10 and arriving at KL at 19:25. Met up with Marie who had flown in from
Sydney and took a prepaid taxi to the Concorde Hotel in Shah Alam. This hotel
was recommended to us by Borneo Birding Tours and provided easier access to the
mangrove areas on the west coast of Malaysia. It is also very close to the
botanical gardens in Shah Alam, which has a large area of unspoilt forest.
Friday
17th March: Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam
After
a good breakfast at the hotel, Marie and I took a Grab taxi to the botanical
gardens, arriving when they opened at 7:30am.
The botanical gardens has a huge area of natural and impressive forest,
plus some wetlands and rice paddies. Having never been to the site previously,
we headed into the forests, which was slow going at first for birding. After
lunch we birded around the wetlands and rice paddies.
Blue-winged Pitta |
Short-tailed Babbler |
Marie and I met up with Lee for birding the
sub-montane forests to the east of Kuala Lumpur close to Bukit Tinggi. We birded a
number of sites, targeting some difficult birds including the Malayan
Rail-babbler.
Whiskered Treeswift |
Fluffy-backed Tit-babbler |
Sunday 19th March: West Coast Mangrove Forest
Had an early start at 4:30am where the group
met up with Lee, our guide for the day. We headed down to the west coast with
some predawn birding with Large-tailed Nightjar and Eastern Barn Owl being seen.
We then did some birding at dawn in an area
with rice paddies adjacent to forest. This area was alive with birds early in
the morning and we had 30 species including Savanna Nightjar, Dusky Eagle Owl,
Spotted Wood Owl and Large Woodshrike.
We then did some mangrove birding at a couple
of sites and had Mangrove Pitta, Black Baza, Sunda Pygmy Woodpecker, Rufous
Woodpecker, Laced Woodpecker and Forest Wagtail.
Mangrove Pitta |
Drove to the airport for the afternoon flight to Kota Kinabalu. The flight was delayed and we got into our hotel, the Aru Suites Tanjung Aru, after dark.
Sabah
Monday
20th March: Mantanani Island
Met
up with Hazwan, our guide for the next 10 days in Sabah, and drove up to the
departure point for the ferry crossing to Mantanani Island (Mantanani Besar).
Had quite a long wait for a ferry and had limited birding while waiting.
Grey Imperial Pigeon |
Philippine Megapode |
Lesser Frigatebird |
Early morning bird was good with Metallic
Pigeon, Pink-necked Pigeon, Green Imperial Pigeon, Grey Imperial Pigeon and
many Lesser Frigatebirds. Marie and I had a female Blue Rock Thrush, and just
before we were boarding the ferry, Marie and Judy had Nicobar Pigeon.
Metallic Pigeon |
Late afternoon, we drove up to Ranau, to our
accommodation at the Kinabalu Pine Resort, close to the Kinabalu National Park.
Wednesday
22nd March: Crocker Range
Another early morning start as we drove to
the Crocker Range for the days birding. Had some early morning birding at a
hide and the rest of the day birding from the road.
Red-breasted Partridge |
Orange-breasted Trogon |
Sunda Laughingthrush |
Thursday 23rd March: Kinabalu National Park
We started
birding in Kinabalu National Park at 6am and spent the entire day on various
trails and roadside birding.

We spent most of the day in Kinabalu National
Park, with a break at the hotel after lunch, then back again for some late
afternoon birding. I birded most of the morning by myself along the Silau-Silau,
Pandanus and Kiau View Trails.
Early morning, we had Everett’s Thrush and
then I had a pair of Bornean Forktail showing nicely in the rocky stream. Along
the Kiau View trail, I had excellent views of Large Woodshrike, typically a
lowland species, Blythe’s Shrike-babbler at eye level and close enough to
record their calls, plus Bornean Stubtail at a nesting site in the mossy
embankment. Also had a Blythe’s
Hawk-eagle land in a tree just above me on the high ridge of Kiau View.
Temminck's Babbler |
Saturday
25th March: Poring Hot Springs
Had an early morning start driving to Poring
Hot Springs and spent 3.5 hours birding the area.
Blue-and-white Flycatcher |
Scaly-breasted Bulbul |
We stayed in the Sepilok Jungle Resort which
had good accommodation and was located close to the Rainforest Discovery
Centre. Many tours only include for a morning visit to the RDC yet it offers
some of the best birding for any trip. We had planned on a full day plus the
next morning at the RDC.
Sunday
26th March: Rainforest Discovery Centre
Took the very short drive to the Rainforest
Discovery Centre (RDC) and I birded by myself for the morning. Highlights were
Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, Silver-rumped Spinetail, pair of Diard’s Trogon,
close-up views of Rhinoceros Hornbill, Black Hornbill,
Yellow-rumped Flowerpecker and Crimson Sunbird.

Monday 27th March: RDC and Lower Kinabatangan River
Had four hours birding at the RDC before
heading to Sukau, about two hours’ drive, to Lapit Jetty on the Lower
Kinabatangan River.
I birded various trails of the RDC, including
the Pitta Trail, in heavy rain in the morning. New birds for the trip included
a juvenile Wallace’s Hawk-eagle perched in a dead tree and four Common Hill
Myna which were quite close.
Jerdon's Baza |

Left
early for the river transfer to Sukau and the short drive to Gomantong Caves,
which had some excellent birding along the road. The caves were closed at the
time of the visit for refurbishment.
Highlights included Red-billed Malkoha,
Moustached Hawk-cuckoo, Scarlet-rumped Trogon, Orange-backed Woodpecker,
White-fronted Falconet, Black-crowned Pitta, Grey-cheeked Bulbul, Charlotte’s
Bulbul, Black-throated Babbler, Snowy-capped Babbler and Rufous-crowned Babbler.
After some three hours of excellent forest
birding, we drove onto Lahad Datu for lunch and for our transfers to Danum Valley
Field Centre (DVFC).
Had two vehicles taking us up to Danum
Valley, a trip of about four hours, along rough roads. From our vehicle we had
Bornean Crested Fireback several times along the road, but the absolute
highlight was the driver spotting a male Great Argus perched in a tree just
over the road. This was a bird I didn’t expect to see and had only heard it
previously in Malaysia and Sabah.

The accommodation at the DVFC had been
upgraded last year and was very good. The restaurant had large verandas with
good views over the forest with fruiting trees and flowering shrubs, thus
providing some good birding.
Thursday 30th
March: Danum Valley
Early
morning birding before breakfast had a flock of Bornean Bristlehead quite high
up in a tree, this being a key target for Sabah. Other highlights were
Red-bearded Bee-eater, Rufous Piculet, Bold-striped Tit-babbler, Rufous-fronted
Babbler, Ferruginous Babbler, Horsfield's Babbler and Little Spiderhunter.

Did some more birding in the late afternoon
with a couple of new birds for the trip. After dinner we did some night birding
and had Buffy Fish Owl near the accommodation and later on Gould’s Frogmouth
calling, plus a fly past of the bird.
Friday 31st
March: Danum Valley
I
birded by myself along the access road to DVFC in the morning and afternoon,
with good views of quite a few birds which had been hard to see with a large
group. This included Raffles’s Malkoha, Silver-rumped Spinetail, Grey-rumped
Treeswift, Rufous Piculet feeding about 5m away, Lesser Cuckooshrike and
Black-throated Oriole calling and taped, Cream-eyed Bulbul feeding on berries,
Rufous-crowned Babbler, White-crowned Forktail, White-crowned Shama,
Yellow-breasted Flowerpecker and Yellow-rumped Flowerpecker.

White-crowned Shama plus two Chestnut-naped Forktail.
After breakfast we drove down to Lahad Datu
to the airport with some White-crowned Forktail and Dusky Munia seen on the
way. At the airport we had Nankeen Night Heron, Wood Sandpiper, Common
Sandpiper and Paddyfield Pipit.
Had an afternoon flight to Kota Kinabalu and
then dinner at a restaurant close to the hotel.
Sunday 2nd April: Mount Trusmadi, Crocker Range
Met up early with KK Lee who took us to a
local market for breakfast before driving up into the Crocker Range, to a bird
hide in the Mount Trusmadi area. Lee has built a very elaborate bird hide which
is very comfortable and has good amenities, plus good views over a large
feeding area.
As soon as we arrived, in the gloom of predawn, we had numerous Crested Partridge feeding. This followed by an array of birds over the morning, with a pair of Bulwer’s Pheasant eventually showing. The female showed very nicely however the male stayed in the background and was hard to see.
Bulwer's Pheasant (female) |
Other highlights for the day included Bornean
Banded Pitta (heard), Grey-hooded Babbler, Grey-throated Babbler, Bornean
Black-capped babbler, Temminck’s Babbler, Dayak Blue Flycatcher, Siberian Blue

Monday 3rd April: Kota Kinabalu to
Melbourne
Had a very early flight from Kota Kinabalu to
Kuala Lumpur connecting to a flight to Melbourne. Departed KK at 05:25 and
arrived into KL early, however passport control was extremely slow and I only
just made my flight to Melbourne.
Arrived into Melbourne in the evening.
