Up the dirt track next to a hilltop church is not particularly productive at this time of year. In all that swirling of swallows, I am not certain was there a third species, so I keep watching. According to the latest data, 273 bird species were recorded in the national park, 160 of them breeding in it. Practicalities.

Africa has more than its fair share of storks, with 8 of the world’s 19 species gracing the continent. Storks are typically viewed as wetland species and whilst some storks are restricted to aquatic habitats, others are not. This is another wetland species that nests in sometimes huge colonies atop trees bordering rivers and lakes.

The Ashy Tailorbird is a good example of the different perspectives of describing a bird – while the English name focuses on the body of the bird, the Latin species name ruficeps refers to the rufous head. The split makes the bird one of the six species endemic to Sabah, Borneo ( source ), four of which I saw during my week at Sepilok.
