The river is a stronghold of the endangered Storm’s Stork , a stunning member of the family, and I saw at least one every day I was there. A Rhinoceros Hornbill ! It’s possible to get all 8 of Borneo’s hornbills on the river, I managed Oriental Pied, Black, Bushy-crested, Rhinoceros, and Wrinkled. What a bird!

This is not to say, however, that birders on holiday are, should they choose to travel with family, friends or other assorted loved ones, resigned to seeing nothing, or even nothing except the common stuff. I was thus able to pick an off-the-shelf ecotourism route and, having selected a company, customise it to my family’s needs.
