Langkwai Guide

Dear Traveling Birders, If your vacations should bring you to Malaysia and especially Langkawi, I can recommend a bird guide. I had a very successful morning on Mt Raya with Wendy Chin. Wendy has lived on the island for many years and has become very knowledgible about the localties to find resident and migratory birds. . . . → Read More: Langkwai Guide

White throated Needletails

Hello Michael On Saturday morning between 8.30 and 8.45 I noticed 1 then 3 WhiteThroated Needletails over my place in Girraween, flying from the west towards the east and turning north, ahead of a front. Rain later in the afternoon. There may have been more birds but I needed to attend to a tradesman.
