Birding in Hutan Lipur Lentang

Hutan Lipur Lentang is a recreational forest just about 40 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur. Situated in the state of Pahang, this lowland forest has more trails than Sungai Tekala or Gabai recreational forest in Hulu Langat. Unfortunately there are not many fruiting trees here so most birds are observed generally hawking for insects. Here are some of the interesting birds which i saw:


These are Grey Wagtails. Although its already 7.45am but the place still very dark. These birds may look very social in nature but it has always kept its distance from me. These birds were winter visitors over here.

This is a Grey-Headed Canary Flycatcher singing its heart out. Its calls were louder than the sound of the nearby waterfall.
This is a silhouette of a Greater Racket-tailed Drongo.

Although it has passed 9.20am but in the jungle its still very dark. Some white spots can be seen on its feathers.


This fellow could probably be a juvenile Greater Racket-tailed Drongo.

Its not everyday that you will see a woodpecker coming down to the ground to forage for food let alone this Banded Woodpecker !


She is probably looking for some worms to eat.

Always a delight to see - this is a male Asian Fairy Bluebird.
This is a female Greater Green Leafbird - can be id from the tinge of yellow at its throat and a faint yellow ring around its eyes.

This is a Little Spiderhunder.

Not too bad a place for birding but can be crowded with people on weekends.

 Didn't have much time for birding lately but I still managed to get one / two lifers nevertheless. A majestically looking White-bellied...
