Lentang Forest Reserve is situated in the state of Pahang and this was only my second visit to the place. It is more famous for its beautiful waterfalls and rapids than birds.
This is a deeper part of the rapids which is located near the entrance of the forest reserve area.
In terms of birds, there were quite a number of bulbuls seen here - red-eyed, stripped-throated, yellow-bellied etc. Here are some of them:
These are Red-eyed Bulbul. Saw quite a number of them here.
This Pin-Striped Tit Babbler was also seen foraging nearby.
This Blue-Winged Leafbird (Female) was seen collecting nesting materials to her nest.
This lone Grey-Headed Canary Flycatcher is a permanent resident here.
To get an opportunity to look at this majestic Rhinoceros Hornbill in the wild will certaintly take away all kinds of misery or disappointment in life. This bird (a male) was really silent. If not for its colorful and bright casque i would have miss it. Even when it flew off the typical sound of its wings flapping was missing - this bird was probably employing some stealth tactics.
Finally this Red-Bearded Beeater was seen resting on the top of a thick canopy.
At the end of the trail you will come across this sign. There is actually another smaller trail beyond this but it looks like it has not been used for awhile. So its advisable to just turn back.
