<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On January 14, 2012, I flew to Long Banga (at the invitation of my friend Isai Raja) for my first visit to the Kelabit Highlands. The highlands are Isai's home country, and his plan was to take me off into the forest to see birds (and to give him, and the residents of the highland kampungs, some idea of the potential of the area as a birding tourism destination).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A combination of rain, road conditions and outside events changed our plans considerably over the ensuing week. I was the sole birder in our party, and my knowledge of Bornean bird songs is not as great as it should be. All the same, I had a number of birding successes - enough to suggest that the route I covered is worthy of a more thorough examination (besides taking me through a very lovely and surprisingly rich area).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The area around Long Banga itself has been heavily logged, and as if that wasn't enough was the site of a disastrous forest fire over a decade ago. Our first destination, though, was Long Peluan - a kampung to the north, along a tributary of the Baram River, that is close to an area of unlogged dipterocarp forest. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We took an afternoon trip along the river, watching the winged fruits of the dipterocarp trees pinwheeling constantly into the waters below to be snapped up by waiting fishes. The only birds of note were the disappearing shapes of what were probably a pair of Bushy-crested Hornbills flying into the forest. According to the people at Long Peluan, this is the common hornbill in the area - but a brief glimpse was all I was able to get.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The next morning we made a pre-dawn start for what turned out to be our destination for the following three days, Pa Mada. The logging road between Long Peluan and Pa Mada is “navigable” – by which I mean, navigable in a four-wheel drive vehicle manned by a really skilled driver.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fortunately we had such a combination; the road was slick from recent rains, and boasted ruts that could stand in for the Grand Canyon. Isai and his brother Barahim decided to set off early (by 4 AM), so I wasn’t able to see much of the roadside forest near Long Peluan itself. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dawn found us traversing some forty or more kilometers of what appears to be excellent lower montane habitat, amid some really beautiful mountain scenery. The country reminded me of one of my favourite spots in Sarawak, the overlook point at Borneo Highlands - except that there was a lot more of it. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The above is a perfect example of a "record shot" - It's a terrible picture, but there is no question as to what it is. That white tail, crossed with a wide black band, can only belong to a Rhinoceros Hornbill, my first sighting of Sarawak's state bird in Sarawak.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> We saw both Rhinoceros (a pair) and Wreathed Hornbill on the drive, and heard Great Argus (not to mention seeing a barking deer and a palm civet, and hearing unseen troops of Bornean gibbons serenading us for much of the ride). I suspect that better birders with more time could find all sorts of things along this road (and if it could only be fixed up and properly maintained, and the forest around it protected, the road could be one of the scenery and wildlife highlights of Sarawak - a Kelabit Highway, perhaps?).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I did not see any real rarities, though I strongly suspect that a more thorough survey could turn up some interesting stuff. Judging by call (I saw one bird well), Mountain Barbet, a species not always easy to find in the better-known spots, appears common in the area (I hard, but did not see, numbers of Bornean Barbets as well. Other than that the birds seemed not unlike those that turn up at Borneo Highlands. The big difference, of course, is that the road provides access to a lot more habitat.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">However, I also found Straw-headed Bulbuls here (to my surprise), and, on two successive days, a noisy party of about ten Dusky Broadbills (a long-wanted life bird for me). The broadbills appeared to be a core flock species, gathering around them birds such as Chestnut-breasted Malkohas - and, with them, pygmy squirrels. I find it quite fascinating that small squirrels join bird parties both in Borneo and Central America - a quite independent development, as the two groups of squirrels are not close relatives.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We finally got over the last bit of road to Bario (seeing, on the way, a mixed party of Sunda Cuckoo-Shrikes and Black-and-Crimson Orioles). Bario is too open and settled to be more than a base of operations for birders, though it is a bit startling to see a Wreathed Hornbill (someone's pet, obviously), perched on a telephone wire!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At Long Peluan I wanted to see some of the adjacent forest. This meant an arduous (well, for me, not for my kampung companions) slog to the top of the ridge across the river, to the pristinely-cleared display ground of a Great Argus (which we heard nearby, but did not see - no surprise there). From the same spot we heard another near-invisible species, Blue-banded Pitta - and saw a few birds (not pittas!) as well.</span><br />

Though there was a bunch of us, there were perhaps 3 birdwatchers among us intent on birding in the area. We were actually there to trek GunungMurud Oct 2010, the birders however were quickly roped into giving a crash course on birds and birdwatching to SK Bakelalan through Sang Sigar, assistant principal and proprietor at the guest house we stayed at.<br /><br />It's always pleasant <a href="http://nabghani.blogspot.com/2010/10/few-days-in-bekalalan-prior-to-mt-murud.html"><b>birdwatching</b></a> in Bakelalan, by the time we left after scaling Gunung Murud, Yeo Siew Teck compiled a list of 123 birds but not all restricted to the kampong area. Ashy Drongo, Black-headed Munia, Orange-breasted Flowerpecker, Striated tit Babbler were ticked just around the village paths. The rest were ticked along our trek to the summit and back. It remains that at least more than half of the birds on our list were acquired in the easy places around the settlement.<div><br /></div><div>The potential for birdwatching in the surrounding area has not been adequately explored, many past birders to the area has expressed exasperations over the lack of knowledgeable bird guides in the area. It's still a very recent hobby here as far as the locals are concerned. The question then arise : who are the best persons to bird the area other than the very persons living there 24/7. The proposal was simple : teach the local youngsters about birds, in time they will be our new resource for birdwatching and bird conservation locally in the area. After all Gunung Murud, Batu Lawi and Pulong Tau are all within walking distance from Bakelalan. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thus started the ad-hoc preliminary initiative to teach the local children about birds and the wholesome hobby of birdwatching. Introducing the birds to these young people could very well increase their awareness of our feathered friends and ultimately their appreciation and conservation. Yeo, Nazeri, Sara, Chris and Faye initiated the first basic lessons back in Oct 2010; this year Peter, Nazeri, Amer and Ali embarked on exposing a second batch of students to birds and birdwatching.<br /><br />In any rural setting, any available resource is quickly associated as food resource. The time is now if not 70 years ago to make the people of places of conservation value like Bakelalan, Bario and others more connected with the conservation work that are taking place elsewhere in bigger less bird diverse area. It might not be too late for the rural children to appreciate birds on a higher aesthetic level rather than quickly to associate it to a bowl of soup at the dinner table. Once these youngsters value birds more than just as a food resource, it will become clear to them that conservation is the only right path to follow.</div><div><br /><a

Myer's Birds of Borneo Fieldguide to Cikgu Sang and the community. This year we left another copy to the teachers who will be the torchbearers for this rural birdwatching effort.<br /><br />It is hoped that by Jan 2012, we will have at least one AWC survey conducted in Bakelalan and by later by June a "MY Garden Birdwatch" event executed by the students and teachers with help from the birdwatching fraternity. Next trip : "How to enter Bakelalan bird sightings to BIW!"<div><br /></div><div><i>Write-up and photo by </i></div><div><i>Nazeri Abghani, MNS Miri, Oct 2011</i></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153981238760957275.post-54964721929356135532011-09-23T08:29:00.000-07:002011-09-27T15:36:22.367-07:00Sarawak Highlands Birding Blogspot<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFUWgW2oZjX2m0xxwZ2leN0MxhERf1zEG1oEePB2B-H6md7qn-17de3FbQsSRCVOdtHWHyCaBVCnJLOHUkm00t5FRJsgQkb5pR8mh0RZT929atFSPJ2Rf1DejZjYHYoYR1nvgAXXVjsvkx/s1600/IMG_3081_img7d2_blog.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFUWgW2oZjX2m0xxwZ2leN0MxhERf1zEG1oEePB2B-H6md7qn-17de3FbQsSRCVOdtHWHyCaBVCnJLOHUkm00t5FRJsgQkb5pR8mh0RZT929atFSPJ2Rf1DejZjYHYoYR1nvgAXXVjsvkx/s400/IMG_3081_img7d2_blog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657171589124993986" /></a><div><br />We've created Sarawak Highlands Birding Blogspot to cover all the prime destinations for birdwatching in the Sarawak Highlands.
