JOHOR, MALAYSIA, DECEMBER 2012 – If you’re traveling to Singapore for birding, you might want to think outside the box or, in this case, the island. Now that’s a tropical woodpecker… Crimson-winged Woodpecker. Eager to see all of the aforementioned avifauna, I reached out to the man with the Panti plan.

For Borneo I’ll be accepting the split endemic species listed in Myers (2009), some of which I think eBird could at least offer as subspecies options (I’d also welcome an eBird app that works). Species are listed by family according to the order eBird spits them out to me in. ACCIPITRIDAE (HAWKS, EAGLES AND ALLIES).

Contrast this in Asia to, say, Singapore, Hong Kong or Bangkok, all of which have great birding nearby but are destinations people go to for reasons other than wildlife. Between the 22 of December and the 31st I managed to see 171 species of bird, this had climbed to 219 by the time I had left of the 11th of January. And the birds?

For Corey, this was a weekend without a single standout species but with many birds that were pretty darn neat. Check out the photo and movie in my blog: [link] Richard Mar 14th, 2011 at 3:51 am After a busy week in Jakarta and Singapore, I stayed on for Saturday to do some intensive birding. Enjoy the details and proof here.
