Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve

 and a lil bit of KL tower.

5th February 2011

Duration: 2 hours

"Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve is located in the City Centre of Kuala Lumpur. Gazetted as a Permanent Reserved Forest in 1906. It is one of the network for GREEN HERITAGE OF MALAYSIA."

Decided to make a random trip there since it is just a 30 minutes drive from home and surveying the jungle which lies in the middle of Kuala Lumpur.
Stepping into the Bukit Nanas didn't give me the feeling that I am in a jungle.
Why? I hear construction workers drilling ground, vehicles honking.. Couldn't enjoy nature to it's fullest!

Happy CNY!

"MNS LAMIBA Beginner Birding" Training Workshop Day 3

That morning we had some not-so-good weather, so we decided to head back to Jelai Highland Resort for round 2!

White-throated Fantail

Birds in Jelai are very tame, used to being around people. 1 guy was using his cheapo-phone to snap the bird like 10cm away!
If you don't have a long lens, I'd say this is the place you want to be at! All my pictures were taken using 18-105mm lens :p

"MNS LAMIBA Beginner Birding" Training Workshop Day 2

Met up in Jelai Highland Resort @ 7am for birding.

Our first bird was a Long Tailed Sibia. A common bird in Fraser's Hill but still, a lifer for some of us!
