This year i decided to skip Raptor Watch at Tanjung Tuan and drove straight up to Fraser's Hill. Met a couple of international birders/photographers from Thailand and Japan. We had splendid views of some birds although most of them were quite common up here.

| Little Cuckoo Dove |
 |
| Mugimaki Flycatcher - male |
 |
| Javan Cuckooshrike - Male |
 |
| Javan Cuckooshrike - female |
 |
| Lesser Racket-Tailed Drongo |
At a glance you may think that this could be a bronze drongo but alas it was just a Lesser Racket-Tailed Drongo without its streamers.
You can see Nihon san is smiling here as he has just "shot" his fellow namesake country bird - the Mugimaki Flycatcher.
 |
| Chestnut-capped Laughingthrush |
Some books have named this bird "Spectacled Laughingthrush" but its scientific name remained the same at the moment i.e. "Garrulax mitratus"
 |
| Silver-eared Mesia |
International birders/photographers have taken probably a few thousand shots of this bird alone. A beautiful bird from front to back. A good subject to test your photography skills as it is quite friendly as well.

| Little Pied Flycatcher - male |

| Little Pied Flycatcher - female |
