Bird Watch in Fraser Hills (Sat.- Sun. 22 -23 November 1997)
Ooi Beng Yean brought along 15 members in the Bird Watch up to our favourite haunt staying at the Gap Rest House. The first disappointment was the toppling over of our favourite fruiting tree in front of the Rest House. We had hoped to see some winter migrants but it was quite disappointing. There were hardly any at the rubbish dump other than the drongos. The next day was better with the experience of a few bird waves along the Telecoms Loop. We met Choo and Terry from the Selangor Bird group who showed our novice birders their sophisticated equipment and their experience. Choo tried to lure a hooting scops owl with his tape recorder so that we can spot it but he remained recalcitrant. We headed back late in the evening hoping to have dinner in Kuala Kubu Baru but there was a blackout so we had to go to Tanjung Malim where we tried out Wan Nam Restaurant.
